I suspect most people write their own, it's so easy. The one I use
is:
#!/bin/sh
progname=`basename $0`
die(){ echo "$progname: $*">&2; exit 1; }
test $# -eq 1 || die "syntax: $0 maildirname"
cd "$1" || die "$0: cannot cd to $1"
test -d tmp -a -d new -a -d cur || \
die "$0: $1 does not appear to be a maildir"
find cur -type f|sort|while read f;do
formail -I 'Status: RO' <$f
done
find new -type f|sort|while read f;do
formail -I 'Status:' <$f
done
It uses the formail command that accompanies procmail to do the
header thagomizing, and emits the mbox on stdout.
