I have a Drupal 6.13 site where I would like to populate a content type from emails to a specific address. This I am doing to get the info via Dapper and structured into CCK fields, so I can make detailed Views from the info in the emails.
I have had a hard time finding the necessary components do solve this procedure.
I am contemplating the simplest routine to do this is something like:
- Receive the mails at the specified address (these emails will have maybe 6 different formats - which might require to make 6 different processes of the below mentioned steps)
- Automatically publish the nodes at my site (without links as they should not be seen by the public)
- Use www.dapper.org to automatically turn the mails into other nodetypes with detailed field info, using the ingenious Dapper to structure the info from the emails
- Create whatever Views I need to compare the info from my emails
Is there an easier and more straightforward way to get the mail-info converted to CCK fields that I can see with Views2?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
