This is what UpLib does. Actually, it does two things: it generates the static HTML (for the obsolete first-generation UI), but it also generates on-the-fly pages when a page is requested (the more modern, but still needing-to-be-updated current UI). Since UpLib can also process photos, Web pages, Powerpoint decks, Word, PDF, etc., it can display attachments next to the mail message as thumbnails with links to the attachment document. It's a tad tricky to display those documents -- for years I've been using a Java applet, but that's clearly not the wave of the tablet future, so I've been playing with the gnubook code as an alternative.
