It's both feasible and desirable. In fact, we discussed it quite a bit
almost a year ago, although this was mostly in-person at the Menlo Park
meetings, and some details may not have been shared over the list.
I've been sketching out notes for a mail repository, with mail that can be
granularly addressed using HyTimes/DSSSL Groves. Using this repository,
XLink and RDF could be used to respectively link to and categorize
e-mails. There are several open source RDF implementations, and I've been
sketching out a design for an open source link database, which could be
used by other OHS-related projects. I'll keep people posted on the
ohs-dev mailing list.
However, in the interim, one could easily modify any one of the mail
archiving programs to add Purple/PLink-style addresses to e-mail.
Incidentally, the Foresight folks wrote Critmail, a modification to
Hypermail that replaces e-mail quoting with Critlinks. I believe those
modifications have made it back to the main Hypermail distribution. This
functionality is definitely desirable; an e-mail quote, after all, is just
a transclusion to a section of an e-mail.
