Title: E-mail attachment

Does anyone have a routine for retrieving the attachment for an e-mail sent to the AS/400? We have setup an e-mail address to receive a CSV file (as an attachment) to our AS/400 - the e-mail gets recieved into /qtcptmm/mail/csv_user/. I'd like a program to be able to read thru the e-mail (the e-mail is a file and is usually named something like "JW072019.NOT") and copy the attachment and create an actual IFS file from it. When I look at the .NOT file, I can see all the data in there but it looks like it's formatted a special way because each line only goes to 64 characters and then there is usually an equal sign and then it's wrapped to the next line. So, I can't just read it straight in and then write it out. Also, I haven't figured out how to know where to start and stop reading.

Just wondered if anyone had done anything like this yet?

Thanks,
Dave
