Hi Mohit,

The short answer is 'yes'.  I guess you'll probably want to know how to
do it, as well, but that's very difficult to answer without knowing a
lot more about what kind of system you're on, and various other
details.  The best place to start looking will be your email software,
not SAS - your email software may well have something in its filtering
rules that will allow you to run an external program on receipt of a
particular subject line.  Failing that, a SAS solution might involve
locating your email 'inbox' file and writing a SAS program to scan that
periodically...  if the email arrives in a place which is accessible
via the POP3 protocol, you could write a SAS implementation of that....
 etc etc.

Chris.
