I would like to have a document library created with incoming mail turned on. I've set this up, it is working fine. One thing I would like to do is figure out a way to categorize the incoming email (.EML file) as to whether it is an e-mail or an appointment? I understand an appointment is really just an e-mail but I was wondering if anyone can hint at a way to determine the difference. I've scanned over the email headers between the two but nothing is standing out. I know in the e-mail message, there is some typical text that is sent but I don't believe a workflow can open a EML file and read out the text to a variable.

My workaround will be to create a seperate document library and seperate e-mail address for meeting requests but I'd like to only have one e-mail address for ease of use for my end users.

If you considering email for meeting, why not already use calendars in SharePoint that actually could receive events by email, and leave documents in libraries. See here how to setup http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook-help/view-and-update-a-sharepoint-calendar-HA010081987.aspx#BM6

We just found it was easier to create two document libraries, one specifically for meetings and then create a page that can view both libraries at the same time.
