[daisy] E-mail rendering

[Antal Koós]

Hi,

I think it could be a way:

storing:
MUA ---- ( via clipboard/script/macro) ---> into Daisy in a single
file attachment ( maybe the header extracted)

viewing:
selecting the msg document in Daisy ---> invoking "mhonarc -single msg
> msg.html"  (www.mhonarc.org)

... just a crazy idea :-)


Best regards,
          Antal Koós
