For a personal project I’ve lashed together a simple utility for converting 
email messages stored in mbox files into individual tiddlers.

https://github.com/Jermolene/mbox-to-tiddlers

Each message in the mbox file is converted into a separate tiddler with the 
following fields:

        • title: message ID
        • caption: message subject
        • from: message sender
        • text: message text
        • type: text/plain
        • modified: message date (in TiddlyWiki format)

mbox files are a standard export and storage format that is offered by many 
email clients and services. For testing, I was using mbox files generated by 
the macOS Mail.app.

As an example, I’ve included in the repository a 18MB TiddlyWiki containing all 
the messages from the main TiddlyWiki discussion group over the last year. It 
contains 6,907 tiddlers.

I’ve also copied that example to TiddlySpot for easier access — open the 
“Recent” tab to see some messages:

http://tw-msgs-07-2018-to-07-2019.tiddlyspot.com/ 
<http://tw-msgs-07-2018-to-07-2019.tiddlyspot.com/>

The next step is a better framework for browsing and viewing the messages.

Any questions or feedback welcome,

Best wishes

Jeremy
