Why try to make the silly Windows box do anything useful? (-:

gawk </var/log/mail/info 'BEGIN { print "<HTML><BODY BGCOLOR=WHITE>" } \
  /to=</ { c = "BLUE" } \
  /from=\</ { c = "GREEN" } \
  /=<$USER_NAME_HERE\@/ { print "<P><FONT COLOR=" c ">" \
    gensub(">","\\>","g",gensub("<","\\<","g",$0)) "</FONT></P>" } \
  END { print "</BODY></HTML>" }'

Attached (3.5kB), the results of running that on my own machine, which doesn't 
recieve mail directly. It would be fairly easy to make that more legible 
(e.g. by including only the timestamp, address and server details and 
wrapping each in <TD>...</TD> and the lines in <TR>).

You could also whack CygWin on to the Windows box and run that same command.

Cheers; Leon
