<br>
The write up at the link below should give you ideas on how to extract the emails using those tools:<br>
<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/mensawater-183304/cli-to-get-oracle-supply-network-email-attachments-36724/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/blog/mensawater-183304/cli-to-get-oracle-supply-network-email-attachments-36724/</a><br>
<br>
If you're doing a local Exchange server rather than Office365 your fetchmail setup would need to point to your local Exchange server.<br>
<br>
I saw mention of metamail and uudeview for getting attachments but didn't try either. The <a href="http://unmime.pl" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">unmime.pl</a> Perl script mentioned in the above extracts both attachments and bodies. It should be fairly simple to write a script that sends the extracted body into mail.<br>
<br>
We send a fair amount of TXT messages simply by using mailx to send email to defined phone numbers. Some of the providers (e.g. AT&T) might block you if you're doing a high volume that way so you might have to have your own SMS gateway. It wasn't clear from original question if you already have that.<br>

Fetchmail + procmail?<br>
<br>
It would be easier if the mail came to a normal MTA - then fetchmail could be dropped. Used to run remote tasks for SW builds via email control msgs to a specific account based on the subject.<br>
<br>
The old <a href="mailto:pi@hz.com">pi@hz.com</a> service worked this way too, I bet.<br>
