the OS is a win32 (w2k), with IIS ... there is a "Virtual SMTP server" 
in IIS ...

I like the idea, but how to connect the virtual smtp and a python script ?

but ... There should be a way to be python only ... because i don't want 
to be very complex, i just want to get the subject of the email, to run 
some commands (and perhaps get a attachment file) ... but that's all
i am pretty sure that a recipe exists ... that a man has already done that !
But i don't know what to query on google ...
