Derek,

Ask Allan or AB where the list archives are now stored.  They can give you the URL.  Then do a search for mummy.  About two or three months ago the list discussed some of the more abhorrent mummy uses (including snorting dessicated corpses), and spun out a few adventure hooks.  I think you will enjoy the conversation.
