you could get the users into MailWatch so they can release their own
email from within the DB...you'd have to keep the uncompressed emails
around for more days though as the MW interace only deals with the
rfc-822 format emails, not uncompresseing/extracting on the fly.

The MW stuff can (and will) look into the users table to allow non-admin
  users to check their own email for spam etc...
