Yes it would, and also rich text converted from PmWiki markup.

I have now documented on the recipe page how I use this function.

It takes some effort to configure it, but this is nothing compared to 
composing the multipart message yourself.

Zawinski's Law? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawinski's_Law

You would probably use IMAP not POP, and PHP already has IMAP functions, 
so you don't need cURL.

I have a "webmail"-like recipe that allows me to monitor several IMAP 
mailboxes and IMAP folders on one wiki page, and open, delete, label, 
hide, move the messages (but not reply to them). Unfortunately it is 
very raw, only adapted for my needs, and really not ready for 
publication.

See also Cookbook:WikiMail for another approach. (I haven't reviewed or 
tested that one.)
