Suggestion: converter to standard mailbox format and/or mail-to-website tools

[peterkaminski]

Thank you very much for the archive and conversion tools!

I wanted to note that the non-commodity part of the solution is downloading messages from Yahoo, but that there is a lot of mature software that deals with large sets of RFC 822-format emails.

Having a converter that used the mailbox module to write the rawEmail messages to Maildir, mbox, or MH mailbox formats would connect the messages to mail clients and other tools, such as MHonArc or HyperKitty, which are full-blown messages-to-website tools.

I also wanted to point to procmail, which is sort of defunct, but was a great tool for munging lots of emails.

I don't have time to code on this at the moment, so I wanted to share the idea. I'll also put the idea on my queue of things I'd like to get to.
