Imail doesn't expose any MIME-decoding functionality to the user. Because of this, your easiest bet will probably be to use a POP3 component (try www.serverobjects.com to start; it's said that theirs does this) that polls the primary mailbox periodically, then uses component methods to strip attachments into the file system. Once you get a good return code from this, you can forward the text body of the e-mail to the list (using the security measures outlined above) and send a message back to the originator. You should require the drop box to have the same subject-line password as the list, so you can just check for it and forward the subject line intact. Note that a little VBScript can do all of this. You don't need to use a full-fledged programming language or anything. > 4) Return a confirmation that the process has completed Once you get (3) working, just running IMAIL1 back to the sender wouldn't be difficult.
