For a while I’ve been subscribing to news alerts (via Google Alerts) for AppIQ and Storage Essentials. I always thought I might gateway these to a weblog sometime.

Now I have an IMAP mail folder full of messages, I’d like to import it into WP. My first thought was to move the messages to a mailbox that WP can POP from. This is only partially successful: the WP POPper doesn’t do a good enough job of decoding the multipart message and i end up with something like the following:
