Automatic Submit of Form from Outlook

Office 2007 MOSS 2007 Infopath 2007 Win Server/SQL 2008 + Exchange

Using admin approved fully trusted forms coming in to the office as mail attachments(non negotiable!).

How do we go about automatcially submitting the form as soon as it arrives, we are using a custom submit button on the form, how do we execute this from Outlook (or Exchange) without user intervention?

We have numerous IP forms that are filled in offsite and emailed to HQ as an email attachment, (please note these users are never connected, the email goes through a store and forward mechanism).

In HQ a user opens the email and IP attachment, clicks on the custom upload button and the form/metadata is uploaded to the target library where workflows do their stuff.

We want the process to be automatic, ie a 'finger of code' to press the Submit buttton (don't want to trawl the XML data content!). The business is 24 hours and relying on a poor human to monitor is too problematic.

Can any one help?
