I think you are onto something here.. Like a spam filter application, but to process emails in various ways.
But I wouldn't do that using vfp, on the server side, I would use php and mysql - etc.. And then once the email was placed into a mysql database then sure you could use vfp to loop through it process it, parse data, forward it.. etc..

Go through the inbox looking for messages with a specific subject. Read the email, and process it. (Bring it onto a table.) The reason I was looking for something generic, as I have no idea who will use the app, with what email client. However as you have said, there is no standard. Do I guess, my request is not possible at this time.
