isn't that just mail messages? you can transform whatever you need to  
look like a mail message, but i don't think thats the way to go. . .  
it is like make everything to look like a webpage, that way you only  
need a browser :?

i would love upasfs to be able to move/copy messages between mailboxes  
and the like, i don't see the advantage of creating new mails with it

and how do you plan to make mozilla or mutt talk to that fs server?  
wouldn't be easier to use imap? unless you wrote a new client or  
modify heavily an existing one i can't see a transparent integration :?
