Yes, I tried doing this but it somehow didn't work out.
`archivetombox.py` does this (and it works) but whether it conforms to
the actual definition of a mbox archive (w.r.t to message body), I
will check this again.

I *really* want to do this. Two reasons:

    - It will be a good exercise in web programming.
    - It will be good for the project overall.

So this is definitely in our to-do.

Ok. I remember where it is.

Yeah, sure. I will do it.

I will try this :)
