yes

The subject must be URL encoded (spaces aren't legal)
URL encoded subjects may not work correctly on all browsers

uh... URL encode a line break? I haven't tried to do that.

There are numerous "trying to be an email client" web apps posted on
Freshmeat.net, type "email" into its search item and see what you get.
Most of them are in PHP, but some are in perl, perhaps that can help
you.
