One of my plans for Étoilé 0.5 is to have a message repository built  
on top of CoreObject, which will store emails and chat logs, and use  
this with StepChat and write a Pantomime-based mail utility for  
sending and receiving email from it.

CoreObject provides a clean mechanism for storing complex data with  
rich properties and EtoileUI allows views on data stored in this way  
to be presented very easily.
