viewable email archive

[abovebrd]

I am looking for a way to archive a given mailbox and make the archive viewable via a web browser.

This doesn't sound to difficult in nature. However my perl scripting skills are basic and I don't really want to re-invent the wheel.

Can someone point me in the right direction as I am lost.

I figure I could parse the users mail spool folder.
/usr/mail/spool

edit out the headers
and then do one of two things
1. Place each message in a unique file. The file would somehow get its name from some attribute of the orginal message. Then have an idex page that lists each message.
2. Or place some type of index mark between each message for easy viewing

Any ideas on how to best handle this
