I think this is the crux of the problem, right?  I was noticing the
other day that notmuch's own mail archives are published in pipermail,
which is *absolutely terrible* compared to dealing with a mailstore with
notmuch as a frontend.  I'd love to be able to expose the archive to the
public this way.

Assuming that you had a sanitize_this_html_part() function available to
you, do you think it would be possible to make this safe?  Have you
considered proposing it for inclusion in contrib upstream?
