Frequently, when I am browsing an archive, I would like to repsond to
a message I find in it. I would like to respond, using my own MUA
however. What would be really nice is an option, when viewing a
message, to "bounce" it to my e-mail address where I can read (and
respond to) it in my own MUA.
Thots?
Possibilities:
User side:
Put some smarts in your browser to screen scrape the message,
parse it, and mail it to your address;
or do the same by hand with cut & paste;
or put some smarts in your MUA to accept a URL, screen scrape the
message at that URL, parse it, and format it for a response;
Archive side:
Configure the archive to have a "view original message format"
(as Google does with archived news postings) so you could select
the entire original article & save it as a file, then invoke your
MUA on the file (or URL, as above);
or put some CGI or other code on the archive site to forward the
message - and that code should not be exploitable for mail-bombing
(to mail messages to many addresses).
