I was thinking that having something like .vim style files would be cool, so you just write the base interpreter and then anyone could add their own syntax rules. It would require some sort of style tag supported in the email, though, like a HTML <code> wrapper. Maybe something like <code syntax="cpp"> Only problem with that is that the program would have to scan through every email looking to parse anything that looked like that tag, and it would only work if the person you were sending it to had Letters as well.
