Re: iseries rcv orders via email

Hi Jim

<vendor response>
We ar RJS Software have a product called POP/400 that can do this. Any POP3 
mailbox can be used - does not need to be on the 400 - and emails are put 
into PF members you can read and parse.

Whatever you do, have the layout generated by the web page be consistent. 
Font should not matter, but you can't process images in RPG - text only, I 
would think. Try to avoid Base64 conversions (hope I'm using the right term 
there)
