They're gone.

Yep.

On the first pass it can work through ~ 2000 messages in a minute or
two.  It does deltas after that so it's pretty fast once it's gone
through the mbox once.  I haven't spent a second on optimizing message
parsing yet though, so it could probably be faster.  All the message
parsing stuff is pretty hacky.  I'm hoping to dump it all in favor of a
standard library.  Maybe once yours is ready?

I just added a very ugly mime handler that seems to be good enough at
least to strip out all the pgp signature junk.

It doesn't look like it.  It seems like it's focus is on generating
text/xml representations of objects, not on filling in elements of
templates with object attributes.  There doesn't seem to be an example
of html generation, though, so maybe I'm missing something.
