North Carolina, Kentucky and Pennsylvania have been working on an XML 
schema to preserve email messages.  A description of the project is 
here: http://www.records.ncdcr.gov/EmailPreservation/.

I don't know too much about it, but I do know some of the folks working 
on the project.  They are doing a 1/2 day preconference workshop at SAA 
this year:

Just came across the Knowledge Base about Email<http://www.w3.org/2000/04/maillog2rdf/email> but I don't know that we can use RDF just yet, and its schema is very simple.  If there are more stones to turn, please point me to them
