I read:
Is anyone aware of any externals that would allow me receive emails
not that I know
directly into pd or would I have to write a script that would somehow pipe them into a text file from an email client? I'm using linux. Thanks.
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).
