Yeah, there's no way that's going to work.  email.Parser (really
FeedParser in 3.0) can only parse RFC 2822 messages.  The nice thing is
that if you could write a parser for MS Outlook files, you could then
use the rest of the email package to manipulate those message objects. 
Contributions are welcome. :)
