Is it possible to read an attachment on an email? We receive a .CSV file from a supplier that currently gets manually copied into a folder where Ignition reads it and parses into our DB. I’m wanting Ignition to read the email attachment and either move to the folder for parsing or just parse it.

Most email programs allow automatic handling of messages, could you script something in there to save it to the same place each time?
