Not sure about windows stuff but it seems like if you knew which directory the email is kept in you could Go through each file searching for a specific subject and then parse it accordingly.
I'd recommend File::Slurp to read your directory and the files in it. Then use : Mail::Internet and Mail::Header to parse the email out and do what you will with it. In unix I'd use cron to run that script every so often and I'm sure winders has a similar thing. Dan > > I want to write a script that takes its parameters from an > email.
