Re: Automated receipt of email attachemnets

We had a similar requirement not long ago. This manual manipulation is 
fraught with possible errors.

We got RJS Software's POP/400 - it's a client - you won't get anywhere 
using the POP server on IBM i - at least not easily.

There was a discussion here recently on these lists, as I recall.

There might be a possible client on easy400.net - related to MMAIL - but 
I thought there were some limits there, so we went with the RJS solution.
