Yes this is the very simple plugin I'm using. I plan to release it once I  
got to save the meta data in an index file. But I still haven't get the  
time to do so. Maybe someone would interested to extend it. The intented  
file format is:

----------------------------------------------
Subject: A sample entry
Date: 2004-09-28
Status: draft
Summary: Add a few short lines to
   describe this entry. Give user some idea what this entry is about
   before they click to view the full entry

This is the body of the entry.
It has many many lines.
----------------------------------------------

Also the plugin need to make the email header available as the entry's  
meta to make it useful for pyBlosxom.
