Both Novell Groupwise and MS Exchange now allow users to read mail remotely
using any Web browser by providing a mail client with an HTML front-end.
This approach has some advantages over "plain old" POP3.  (And some
disadvantages, yes.)

In theory it would be trivial to whip up a CGI script which acts as a mail
agent (depending on how many features you add to the beast).  So easy, in
fact, that before I seriously start hitting the Perl, I thought I would ask
whether anyone knows of such a thing already in existence...  I've done a few
searches, but so far they've proved to be fruitless.
