Generic format for saving EMails

Hi,

This is probably mostly off-topic, but since java is my tool of choice
and I am using javamail heavily, I decided to post this message here.

We have written a number of java tools for analyzing the contets of an
imap mailbox. What we would like to be able to do is save a particular
email message as a file on our hard drive. Is there a more or less
generic format for doing so and if so, can it be created in java?
(Something like the .eml)

The file should contain all information pertaining to the email (from,
to, subject, content, attatchments, etc.)

Many thanks in advance!
