I totally agree Andrew and am very interested in making it happen (actually in the process of writing a proposal right now and I would like to talk with you about it in person seeing we are in the same area).
For me it has to do with importing MASSIVE amounts of listserv archives (which are in mbox format) and making them categorizable and searchable (lists go back to the mid 1990s). This includes storing attachments (e.g. medical images) so they can be used and categorized.
Please contact me per email if you have time to meet soon (I will post my final proposal in the forums, but anyone else in the area is welcome)
