I would like to use mail forwarding and mail-in database to build a kind of connector to backup.
In fact, to backup some mails, user forward them to a mail-in database. Then, an agent run and convert them in a special format (probably PDF or something like that) and put in a GEIDE system.
But when i forward a mail, this mail is embedded in my new mail. Is there a way to get original mail in my mail-in database ? And especially original from / to / cc / subject items (to put them in a .xml file with the PDF file) ?
Thanx for answers or crtics on my solution

As the whole point is to get the mail to the backup DB, you could put an agent in the mail DB that simply copies the document to the backup DB. That way, the mail will be exactly the same both DB’s.
If you don’t want to mess around too much in the mail template, just drop the agent in, make the trigger “Action menu selection” and the target “All selected documents”.

Thank you for your answer. In fact, it was my first solution but i received a violent “Don’t touch my template !” from my dear administrator…That’s why I’m looking for a workaround…

So the alternative should be to create your own template, with only the agent in it, and copy the agent to all the mail files that need it.

You’re right Peter.In fact, my first idea was to add a action in $InBox. Administrator was affraid because it’s an important view… But “your” agent is a good solution. Adding an agent is not dangerous for mailbox integrity (i think so)
Thank you !
