Right.  Did not find anything obvious while skimming the document.

I guess we should do this.  I've started on a comment to send in on
<URL: https://titanpad.com/noark5-forskrift>.  Please have a look and
improve it. :)

The MIME part specify how to extract attachments, sure.  I am not quite
sure how to best handle this in Noark 5, as I assume the original email
should be connected somehow to the separate parts if they are extracted
and stored separately.

Yes, there will be edge cases that need more thought.  For example,
depending on the 'forwarding' mechanism used, storing the original email
might be easy ro impossible.

One challenge to solve is how/where to store the message "ID", as it
will need to be easily searchable if you want to group all emails in an
email thread into the same file.  Is there a good place to store such
value in noark 5?

I've extended archive-file in the noar5-tester git repo to be able to
store emails.  But it isn't yet doing a good job sorting them into
files.
