If there's any interest, I could write an I-D with it a little bit more
baked. Apologies if this has already been discussed.
It sems ike a reasonable thing to look into but I'd think a more
productive way to go would be to see what software already exists that
does this kind of stuff, preferably with credible paid support. We
already have too much custom bespoke stuff for applications that
aren't really all that unusual.
The right thing to do would be to look at what "integration" actually
means, as well as what constitutes an agreeable message UI before
hunting down candidate software. The message UI is likely to be a source
of friction since there are so many MUA's with their own quirks and
advocates.
Of course the right answer might just be to hack up gnus because...
emacs. I'm sure it has embedded webkit by now.
