XML Mail

Are there any parsers that will accept 'mail' and 
generate corresponding XML?

I would imagine putting this in /etc/aliases :

xml-files:   "!/opt/xmlmail/bin/rewrite ... "


The rewrite program would:

0) Transform reserved characters > < & into
   &gt; &lt; &amp; and handle other trivial 
   conversions such as this.

1) Transform the 'headers' into XML structure.
   <mail-header
      sender="clark.evans@m..."
      to.1="xml-dev@i..."
      etc.
   >

2) Leave valid XML/HTML alone if possible.

3) Add a <mail> </mail> and <p> </p> for non-xml
   non-html mail.

etc.

Anything like this monster?

Thanks tons!
