Of course, I don't HAVE to have this done using WebKit. After reading 
some of the RFC docs concerning the MBOX format, together with the handy 
QTextCodec classes and some QTextEdit widgets, I could probably 
implement this myself. But I don't like to re-invent the wheel, and it 
seems like somewhere, someone must have already done this before...

Anyone?
