Something you may want not realize is that mozilla supports rendering
message/rfc822 data directly in the browser.  I.e.  If the browser
receives a media-type message/rfc822, it will render it directly.

The only major problem is that it will not handle any external
attachments when rendering the data in the browser window.

For files read from disk, I use the extension ".822" to denote
a message/rfc822 file.  I then had to add the following in the
mime.types file:

  message/rfc822 822
