There's nothing or very little Flash about it (that I can tell or
know of). It's basically a demonstration of the power of some form of
big XML processing thingie. All the email messages are stored in XML,
and can then be queried using XQuery (see http://markmail.org/message/
jceio6hai2t5f2ge if you can). The results are transformed into XHTML
and made interactive using your typical JS and CSS tricks. It can
definitely use a few improvements but it also certainly is a rather
nice interface to email archives (certainly nicer than most, if in
places less featureful).
