That's an interesting solution too. I've used a similar approach with
ezmlm lists to retrieve a collection of mbox files, which, if you tell
Thunderbird to open one as an attachment, spawns a new window identical
to the normal "open this email in a new window" view, and it has the
normal "reply | reply all | forward" buttons.

So this should work fine.
