I'm currently using ElasticSearch to index some mail data with attachments.  
My question is how to add fields like "From", "To","Cc" of the e-mail, to the index of the ingest plugin?  
Currently it look like this:

```
{
        "description" : "Extract attachment information",
        "processors" : [
            {
                "attachment" : {
                    "field" : "data",
                }
            }
        ]
}
```

You mean that those fields should be automatically extracted from your email?

If so, it's not doable yet. It might be in the future with:

If you meant that you know on your side those fields, then I guess you just index a JSon doc which contains those fields.

I actually know the fields.  
Thanks for the reply!
