OK, I understand that now.

A shell script around formail(1) (from procmail package)?
Alternatively, I may just modify my private-use mailbox cleaner
program (based off popa3d sources) for your task and either provide it
to you or run it on your 10k mailboxes myself. We're using it on
about as many mailboxes here (to purge old e-mails and free disk
space). I'd estimate that to take about 2 hours of my time, see

No, PINE doesn't. I think UW-IMAP is the only one.

I estimate it as a few percent added to mailbox.c's already too
complicated logic. Most people are already getting lost in that code.
But if you really want to approach the problem this way, I may do it
for you at my consulting rate (see the URL above).
