Hi all,

have a client who receives email bookings, need to read the email (maybe
in
asp page) and insert it into db.

Any ideas.

A few more details would be helpful.

What would be stored in the database; perhaps just:
Date Sent
From Name (if available)
From Email
To Name (if available)
To Email
Subject Line
Message Body

Are the messages in plain text or HTML?

Would there be any attachments? If so, what type?

What would the client effort be; would they be willing
to cut-and-paste a "Reply To" copy of the email into
a textarea?

Once in the database how would they be used?
