Michiel, thanks for the suggestions.  Unfortunately it is just regular XML 
coming from another network that cannot use the API or web services.  It has to 
come into our network as an encrypted email and then we need to figure out a 
way to parse it to get Remedy to map the fields to create a record.  

Thanks again.

/Dan

Subject: Re: XML in an incoming email

Hi Dan,
is it Remedy XML or just some kind of XML message?
You can submit emails into remedy in an XML'ish format; but there are
no methods to translate XML in a certain format into a format Remedy
will understand, you cannot use XSLT or so on incoming emails.

What you can do is * send messages to a designated email box
* retrieve the messages with a script (perl, .net, java whatever)
* parse the XML in this script and submit into remedy using the API.

Other scenario:
* Set mailbox action to None (Email Action, on Advanced tab of AR
System Mailbox Configuration form).
* Write workflow with filters to parse the content of the XML; you'll
have to work with REPLACE() and stuff.

Other scenario:
* just do not use email as a transport mechanism, but use API
integration or a web service over SOAP....

I guess it would be a good idea to log an RFE for translating incoming
XML email messages into something Remedy can handle.
