Background:
Every work day I get an e-mail message from a known sender. The sender puts an attachment in the e-mail message. I have to process that attachment with a python script.
Question:
What is the best (automatic) way for me to get the attachment out of Outlook and onto my shell account (or local filesystem) so I can process it with the script, without having to manually open the file every day and save the attachment?
I think it would be best not to handle this in the mail client, but on the mail server. (Like with Exim filters, if you happen to use that.) So, if that's an option, then please provide some details about that mail server, and about that shell account? – Arjan – 2009-10-10T02:44:41.190
