I didn't try it, but I would prefer the following method:

First create a Zope-Application that creates objects from an URL like

http://your_host/your_appplication?sender=foo@bar&subject=the_ultimate_subject&.....

Then create a mail-filter to pipe the mail to a script. This script
gets the headers and other infos from the incoming mail and forms an
url for your Zope-application. Pipe this URL to a command-line Browser
like lynx.

lynx -dump http://your_host/your_appplication?sender=foo@bar&subject=the_ultimate_subject&.....

I hope this should do, what you want ...
