Attachments

[Mike Kilroy]

Since the 'attachment' is simply the file imbedded in the
email, why not decode it yourself?  Find the file in your
pmmail directory (use ZTB or something to view it).  Vieiwing
it, you will see the file is simply part of the email.  So I
would suggest going to excel, and 'open' that file.  It will
say 'this is not an excel file' and proceed to give you a an
importing page.  I believe you should be able to import the
file by using the delimiters etc suggested.  I would think the
file would become clear if you START THE IMPORT AT ROW xxx  -
ie., tell it to ignore the basic email message text, which is
right up front.

Worth a try anyway.
