[PD] piping emails into pd??

[CK]

I read:

not that I know

probably best to use http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/ext/py/
and depending on what your mailserver uses:

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-poplib.html 
http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-imaplib.html

if it's on the same machine try

http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-mailbox.html

guenther's [shell] object might also come in handy, but I'd do it the
python way (or write the external).
