Of course you do know what your talking about.
That may be an idea ... But, some questions are in order.
1.  What will this reader be used for?
If it's for macrobbs why not just set up a small point for every one who
wants to use it and let them use macrobbs interface?
2.  If it's for any .qwk app ... then we need to ask if we converted the
message format ... would there be some features we would be missing?
I tend to think so.
3.  What about internet news and mail?  It sure would be much easier to
deal with that format because it's already ascii.
Jeff could change his format to internet format or someone could write a
conversion program much easier.
4.  What mail conversion is the most inportant?
Gaylen is already using some program to import fido/qwk to ascii
/macrobbs mail.
I am not trying to shoot the project in the foot but, rather trying to
define some firm ideas and addd to the thought process.
Thanks for your  starting of the post and please keep up the dialog.
More soon.
Sam
