Reading data from email back into container

[Corrin, Mat]

Hi,
 
As part of a workflow that I am currently building, I would like to send =
an email to 3rd party (not a SAP user). This  in itself does not present =
any problems but the next stage does :
 
The email will be HTML formatted and will contain accept / reject =
indicators and a field into which the recipient can enter a date. The =
recipient will then send the email back and the accept/reject result =
along with the date entered will be read back into the workflow =
container.
 
The system is Enterprise and portals are not being used.
 
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can achieve this ?
 
Any suggestions would be appreciated.=20
