If I'm using the IMPA component to grab and email which is known to be formatted in HTML, is there any way of easily stripping the data out ready to be added to a database?
The email comes in as an html table like this:
FIRST_NAME Bilbo
SURNAME Baggins
EMAIL bilbo@email.com
TELEPHONE 0800 666 6666
COMMENTS Hi Bilbo,
I'm just testing the email system for you.
Could you let me know if you receive this by sending an email to bilbo@email.com please?
What I'd like to do is to be able to grab the first name, surname etc. and add them to a database without having to parse the email like it was a standard string. So I guess my question is can I examine the HTML elements within an email usng the component or am I gong to have to stick to using a whole series of IndexOf statements to get rid of the bits I don't need?

Parsing HTML will be introduced in MailBee.NET Objects v3.0. It's not published yet since the documentation is not ready yet but you can get the dll itself from http://www.afterlogic.com/updates/mailbee_net3.zip
You can use Intellisense to find out which classes and methods are available. Although the docs are not available yet, most classes, properties and methods have self-describing names.
To help you start with, I prepared a code snippet which extracts information from HTML table.
Code:
Element elem = new Element("<html><table>" +
"<tr><td>FIRST_NAME</td>" +
"<td>Bilbo</td></tr>" +
"</table></html>");
ElementReadOnlyCollection tds =
elem.GetAllElementsByName("td");
bool nextIsValue = false;
foreach (Element td in tds)
{
if (nextIsValue)
{
Console.WriteLine("First name is [" +
td.InnerHtml.Trim() + "]");
nextIsValue = false;
}
if (td.InnerHtml.Trim() == "FIRST_NAME")
{
nextIsValue = true;
}
}

You should also declare "using MailBee.Html;" in the beginning of C# source.
