There's nothing about emails in NMStreq - it's a CGI.pm wrapper, a
config file reader and a templating engine all munged into a single
module.

For now, I think, copy and paste the bits you want.  Once everything
has settled down a bit we can look at factoring out a common superclass
if there's a lot of duplicated code.

I don't think NMSTreq should go in CGI::NMS, it's too much of a mixture
of things.  I would move the bits of it you want to 
CGI::NMS::Script::NMSBoard::SomeThing or suchlike.

To me, that says it's part of the Common.pl CGI script.

... and that would be for the NMSTreq.pl CGI script.

I would just copy and paste for now, see what you end up with.
