Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Now, Mailbagit has the capability to navigate to YouTube pages linked within emails. However, when attempting to play a video, I encountered an error message stating, "An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: wfbJiUSOZ2NVdJy1)."

Describe the solution you'd like It would be beneficial if the videos could be archived and played back within a platform like Archive Web.Page.

Describe alternatives you've considered Mailbagit stands out for its combined capability of archiving both emails and web content. While tools like Archive-IT, Browsertrix Crawler/Cloud excel in web archiving, they do not offer functionality for email archiving.

Additional context I have successfully crawled YouTube videos using Archive-IT, although the playback process isn't as seamless as I would like. Additionally, I utilize Browsertrix Crawler and Archive Web.Page for capturing YouTube videos, where the playback quality is excellent.
