No archive of old messages?
While it slows down the startup of my E-Mail program, I keep a fair bit of
history on the various lists that I belong to.

Check out 'convert' -- I wrote a Perl script that builds a picture gallery
that works fairly well, calling convert to scale the images to 600x600
(for the display image) and 100x100 (for the thumbnail). Then I build a
bunch of web pages with the display image, a link to the original image
and thumbnails for the next and previous images, as well as a master page
of thumbnails that link to the display page.
Just doing a 'man convert' will get you going.
