attachment in email as parameter to method call

[Ludwig]

Hi,

we receive e-mails with attachments; and an attachment is nothing more
that an xml file.

Question: how can I get this attachment each time a mail arrives and
pass it as a parameter to some remote method ProcessXml(XmlDocument
xml)?

I suppose that the mailserver is involved here but I don't know how
this should be done?

Thanks,

kind regards,
Ludwig

Dear Ludwig,

Is there any way you parse the arrived mail?

Hi Moty,

attachment.... if I know how to do that, I can create an XmlDocument
from the attachment... but where and how is it done? On the
mailserver?

Hello Ludwig,

Well, you need to do
1) Receive Mail
2) Extract attach
3) Process your XML attach

..NET has no built-in POP3 suppot, so u need to implement it by your own
I recommend to start from this article http://www.codeproject.com/cs/intern...pop3client.asp
where author describes how to do this

Dear Ludwig,

Ludwig,

Try to use CDO to Recieve and extract the attachment.
