I just thought I'd report that I've implemented a procmail rule to create a transient folder containing only new, unprocessed haiku that is then processed by Hypermail into an HTML file. Further post-processing strips the email header and footer, leaving only the haiku, and concatenates it to the existing archive. This still requires the execution of a script. Ideally, I'd like the act of receiving a new email to trigger the execution of the script. I'm thinking that procmail can do this as well, but I haven't figured out the syntax. To be continued...
