Well... Wanderlust[1] and Mew[2] support the Shimbun library shipped
with emacs-w3m[3] which can be used parse webpages and present them as
messages.  So it seems the method to be there, but requires some
serious hacking to get it working.

Another possibility: Find a Perl/Python/Ruby/Whatever script that can
download the messages to a local folder via POP3 and access this local
folder with a Emacs mailer of your choice.

Best,
