Introduction
Field Processors do nothing more than extract necessary information from an email by any means, in order to populate a Map of specified Keys used to create an Issue. The abstraction hopefully minimises the effort required to support different flavours of email source, without requiring multiple mailboxes or handlers configured. The aim is Low Management Overhead!
JEMH Field Processors that require directives to be supplied in the email body, (such as the Mailform, and @Prefix Field Processor) also require that the directives be supplied at the top of the email body before any other email content. Any directives separated by a new line will not be extracted by the Field Processor, e.g:
