1) You receive an email

4) You download the document at that URL, which requires a password
5) You then run some sort of alteration on the resulting CSV file.
Please correct me on anything I've misunderstood.
Python can certainly do all of these steps, with the possible
exception of fetching the email. Dividing the problem up into separate
steps will make the solving of it easier.

Thanks a lot ChrisA! You are correct with everything except that the login
hyperlink is always the first link and the second one is the link to register.
Okay!

The first step is to figure out how to retrieve the email. You may
want to tweak your setup to make this easier. The next thing I'd do
would be to port the macro to Python. Everything in between is fairly
easy.

Thanks for the heads up ChrisA! How should I tweak my setup to make it easier
to retrieve my email? I hope I'm doing this reply correctly.
