 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/>

+>> The

+>> plugin is roughly feature complete at this point.  It can read mbox, maildir, and
+>> MH folders, does threading, and deals with MIME (now with
