Yes, this is the tool. You can either pipe a message to it

   $ cat message.eml | plain2html

or call it as

   $ plain2html -m message.eml

Unfortunately I might not have time for that right now, but you can
easily solve this problem by setting your PYTHONPATH to include the
parent directory of the 'bin' and 'plain2html' directories.

Also please note that you need to have Python docutils installed. Last
thing, currently the only parser used for processing text is for
reStructuredText (but adding others, for example for markdown, should
be pretty simple).

Best,

Amit
