Even without asking for an expression of interest, I can say that it
would be worthwhile to add goop to feedmail.el to handle a MAPI case
if some combination of people get around to doing the stuff that
AndrewI outlined.

So, if someone does all that and writes a patch to feedmail.el, I'd
sure like to see it.  If someone does all the rest and I can figure it
out, I'll add the MAPI buffer-eater thing to feedmail.el myself.
(It's almost always really, really easy to write a buffer-eater for
feedmail if it's just mostly handing a message and an address list to
a separate executable.)

(I can offer no help with the actual MAPI part myself, as I spent too
many years yelling at people for thinking it was good.  Now it would
take surgical alteration or something for me to study up on it enough
to write an actual interface.)
