Odd problem - upload file from email, and read into html

OK, don't flame me . . . yet. I'm not what you would call an expert
at this stuff.

I have a site I maintain for my wife and I that tells about our
travels on a small sailboat. I have recently added a Google map to
show where we are.

When in a place where I have WEB access, I can easily update this
through FTP. When we are out in the boonies, there are a couple
problems. The only access I have when out at anchor is a radio based
email connection. I can send messages, and receive at about 1200
baud. Feels like I took a 20 year trip in the wayback machine.

I would like to be able to send just my latitude/longitude, in an
email, have it end up in a file that the thml page can read, and use
to display our location on the Google map.

Am I dreaming? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

OK, so I spent some time looking into this, and found that I have to
use something more dynamic. This morning I got a version working in
PHP that does what I want. The location is saved on the server in a
small text file.

The remaining problem is how to upload that text file to the server
using only email.

Try asking at comp.lang.php
