Can Hazel pull the email name of an attached file?

I have a watch folder where i save attachments from email. For some of these files (invoices), i'm having Hazel rename the files. I'd love to pull the name of the person who had sent it to me and use it as part of the Rename.

Is there a way where Hazel can pull the name of the email (person) from which the file was originally attached?

I'm currently using the "Author" tag, which gives me the author of the document itself, not the email. For Word docs (which these are mostly), the author info is out of date (as docs get passed around and modified, the author info does not update).

any help would be appreciated!

You can try the Source URL/address (which is roughly equivalent to the "Where froms" field. Not sure if that info would carry over in your case but something to look at.
