Well.... No. The adapter does not parse the received document in any
way. Neither does the flatfile, http or other adapters. An adapter is
only used for the transport. After the adapter has received a
document, the document goes through a pipeline, and this is where
parsing, etc goes on.
So probably the answer to your question is "Yes", because the POP3
Adapter does not care if the received email is in flatfile or XML
format. That is a job for the pipeline to decide.
