I am looking to build a archive for a mailing list. I imagine a thread to become a topic, email addresses being replaced with usernames if a matching account exists.

Can the [Email-In feature](https://meta.discourse.org/t/replacing-mailing-lists-email-in/13099) be used to “ingest” a mailing list this way?
