I thought about it briefly once before when someone requested
it, and decided it would be difficult.  Because freeciv is
semi-real-time, an email per turn won't work without significant
changes, and an email per packet (or per buffered transmission) 
would be a lot of emails...

It would need someone who both knew how play-by-email should
work, and who was motivated enough to code it for us.
(Eg, personally I have neither the knowledge nor the motivation.)
