RE: Program to read e-mail

["Lance Gillespie" <lgillespie@xxxxxxxx>]

I am looking at receiving e-mail with a program to process
the data.

I want to update a DB/2 file with the text of the e-mail.

The e-mail body text is in the form  label: value with
labels like date: and time: and id #:

I don't have control over the e-mail so I can't tell them
to send me an XLM or a CVS or anything useful, but if
I could automatically get at the body text of the e-mail
with an rpg program, I would have no problem parsing it.

The problem is, e-mail arrives at iSeries for this user.
How do I strip out the message and send it to my program?

Thanks,
Lance

So you want to read e-mail with a TN5250 client?  Is this because you
have Twinax terminals or 5250 thin clients that do not have an
embedded
email client?  Or are you looking at receiving e-mail with a program
to
process the data?  What exactly do you want to do with this e-mail?
