The down-and-dirty way with any VCS is to create a folder in the project
(well call ours "Comm") and then save individual emails to it as .txt or
.html files. Our usual naming format is "yyyymmdd [hhmm]
subjectline.(txt|html)". For longer running projects, we create annual
folders under "Comm" (i.e. "Comm/2008").
It's not too terribly tedious and it works well enough. It's a manual
process, so getting it done relies on human policies & behavior.
(Basically, if you can get it written to a file, hopefully a plain-text
or minimal markup like HTML, you can get it into SVN.)
