WW.6 Data Import from Email Examples

This example illustrates a system administrator who received an email, reviewed it, and then chose to import it into the system. Two methods of Email import are shown: one that specifies the Message-ID (Example WW.6-1), and another that uses a messaging system to perform the import (Example WW.6-2). Note that the email message is identified by the Message-ID in accordance with [RFC 5322].

Note

These examples illustrate the use of Initiator Role ID as an additional RoleIDCode on an Active Participant, leveraging the multi-valued RoleIDCode mechanism. UserIsRequestor semantics are unchanged: one requesting user is identified.
