Well, if you want I can setup an experimental email->forum->email site.
I
know that drupal will require very little convincing to do that. It will
bring searchability, et al, but Justin's points about administrating it

of it's own magnitude. (I know that there are solutions)

Messy quoting is just a matter of quoter's common sence. No software
solution will ever be perfect.
