I got to thinking, maybe it's easier to email the coordinates into my publicly accessible blog at http://tgmtrack.blogspot.com/ (like I'm doing now) and then have the javascript at http://tgmcnaughton.googlepages.com/map2.htm

Yes, I can set the email address to whatever. I was sending to my gmail account (the webpage is hosted at googlepages).
It seems to me that what is needed is the same sort of method that is used to allow someone to email directly into their own blog. I have set up a blog at blogger.com and have been having the device send its email there. The site allows you to specify a "Mail-to-Blogger Address."

server side script to automatically extract data from new email.
I'm brand new to server-side scripting. I don't even know if javascript can do this.
I would like a script running on my server to periodically login to and check my email account and each time it finds a new message with a particular identifying subjectline, it should extract the body of the message into a text variable and append it to an existing file already on the server.
