I don't know about well-known, but I do it with a tiny bit of Perl. I've
attached it, hopefully the list will let it through. The script needs a
couple of modules off CPAN, so you'll need to do [as root]:

# perl -MCPAN -eshell
[wait for the CPAN shell to start]
cpan> install Email::Folder::Mbox
....
cpan> install Email::LocalDelivery
cpan> exit

Running the script with no arguments gives a brief usage message.
