Automatically create contact from email content/body?

I'm trying to determine if there is a "non-programming" way for me to send FP 2003 form output (XML) to my Outlook email and automatically generate a contact from this email assigned to a particular category. Right now my web forms simply email the results in a formatted HTML format

I'd rather not create a database at the moment and I end up manually creating contacts from prospects that fill out my web forms so it seems like it should be easy enough to generate a contact from the XML file received in my inbox. Am I looking at some coding or is there a facility in Outlook 2003 to do this

I found some "add-ins" on slipstick.com that appear to do what I need but is something built in as XML creation and utilization accross all office apps is heavily touted

Any thoughts
 
No, there is no non-programming way to do this.
