extract email attachment

[Former Member]

Hi SDN,

I'm looking for a solution to extract attachments of an email (such as pdf's or tif's) once I have the email in SAP via SO28 and access them through abap.

Any help appreciated!

Kunal,

sorry that I was precise enough. I'm actually talking about the scenario, where we RECEIVE and email (i.e. with an Adobe pdf) and need to extract the pdf attachment from the email after receiving.

Some hints would really help me a lot.

Hi,

Usually this is done by a middleware like XI which is capable of reading a mail from the mail box using a MAIL Adapter. I don't know if the same can be done using ABAP.

Implementing an entire XI infrastructure sounds like a lot of effort to provide this piece of functionality.

Wouldn't it be possible to extract the attachement somehow from the binary of the email?

if you are on WAS 6.10 and above you can achieve this and there is an excellent weblog by Thomas Jung on this topic at
