online eml parser

[Matt Jones]

Chad,

This is excellent.  A service like this is in fact very valuable for 
people trying to create eml compliant documents, so thanks.  In addition 
to the servlet interface, it would be interesting to see if we could 
expose it as a web service so that people could access it interactively 
from within their software code.  Pass in an XML document as input, get 
back a validity status object (true/false, plus optional error 
messages).  This need not be done before the RC2, its just an idea that 
crossed my mind.
