I'd like to be able to drop an unmodified RFC2822 email message into ikiwiki, and get it formatted to HTML. Something like this: http://lwn.net/Articles/287056/

We're discussing doing just that (well, whole mailboxes, really) over in [[comment_by_mail]] --[[Joey]]

The mailbox plugin is roughly feature complete at this point. It can read mbox, maildir, and MH folders, does threading, and deals with MIME. Well, blindly decodes and copies to ikiwiki all of the MIME parts. Some sanity checking is clearly needed. It looks like attachement.pm has some code that may be helpful. No doubt lots of things could be be improved, and it hasn't been tested a great deal. Formatting of the body could be attempted as well. -- [[DavidBremner]]
