I'm running an app on GAE that does a number of things. One of those things is receiving an email with attachment and responding with a mail with a CSV attached to it. The category of people that use this option, never visit the site.

Would it be possible to add something to my mailhandler so that every mail received is processed as a page visit in Google Analytics?

I'm using Jinja2 as framework.

You can use Google Analytics for Mobile Websites. It allows for server-side invocation.

Basically it just produces an image url that triggers GA when loaded in mobile site. In your case you should invoke this url with your own parameters. Here is an example Url:

http://www.google-analytics.com/__utm.gif?utmwv=4&utmn=769876874&utmhn=example.com&utmcs=ISO-8859-1&utmsr=1280x1024&utmsc=32-bit&utmul=en-us&utmje=1&utmfl=9.0%20%20r115&utmcn=1&utmdt=GATC012%20setting%20variables&utmhid=2059107202&utmr=0&utmp=/auto/GATC012.html?utm_source=www.gatc012.org&utm_campaign=campaign+gatc012&utm_term=keywords+gatc012&utm_content=content+gatc012&utm_medium=medium+gatc012&utmac=UA-30138-1&utmcc=__utma%3D97315849.1774621898.1207701397.1207701397.1207701397.1%3B...
