How about for now, leave pkt2txt to me, since I'm working heavily on it. I 
believe when what you've done, I can add command line parameters if needed.

I have pkt2txt tossing web pages at http://www.dimstar.net/msg/. Take a 
look. It's a very simple interface at the moment, but I'm going to start 
working on indexes tonight.

I'd also like to move the templates outside of the main script. I'm playing 
with several ideas for this. Everything from a template file per format to 
one monolithic templates file.

That can be easy to do. :)

I actually have this tossing on the same machine that BBBS is running on. 
It's also my web server, so it works out well.

I also have about a weeks worth of inbound echomail that I can test with. 
Good load testing stuff.
