Andy Powell (ccsap at bath.ac.uk) has a program called "wmail" which might
do what you want.  It's based on an old program of mine called "gmail"
which did much the same thing for gopher.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "cgi script that accepts an email",
though, since a CGI script would get its input from a web form, not
from e-mail.

Anyway, feel free to contact Andy Powell to see if he's willing to
release his code.
