You may want to look at HTML::FromMail as well: it is a template system
based on MailBox, which can be used as starting point for your
application.

Most problems you see running the tests can simply be ignored: they are
caused by differences between UNIX and Windows character-counts for
messages (the LF versus CRLF difference).
However, there is a remaining problems with mbox->write(inplace)
A few people have offered to solve this, but I did not get a real
solution yet (and I never use Windows myself). The problem has to
do with renaming files which are open or locked on Windows... or
multiple opens for the same file... some of these limitations.
My hope is still on some experienced Windows developer who has time
enough to iron these last problems out. But there are much fewer
capable module developers for Perl in Windows than on UNIX...
Please report any things to miss or behave differently from expected.
