    I'm trying to do something similar. I have a website with a survey form that gathers user input and emails it to me. I want to write a program to get at email attachments and parse out the +'s and &'s and put the data into targeted DB or Word table fields.
    I'm sure I can handle doing all that, but how do I get at the email attachments without requiring the user to do a bunch of clipboarding or file manipulation.
    Maybe we can help each other

    This can easily be done with a scripting language called PERL. Use this and you'll be fine... some web-based e-mail clients are already made at: http://cgi.resourceindex.com/Program..._Based_E_Mail/

    Check It Out... btw I know PERL so if you have any questions... don't hesitate to ask.
