Some stuff in the procmail package might interest you, like formail.
This comes from its manpage:

   -d   Tell formail that the  messages  it  is  supposed  to
split  need  not  be  in  strict mailbox format (i.e.
allows you to split digests/articles or  non-standard
mailbox  formats).   This disables recognition of the
Content-Length: field.

So I guess it's supposed to be able to do the things you need to get done.
Never used it myself though.

Cheers,


Joost

Hello,

Here's a copy of my .procmailrc file. The only thing it does
is split the debian-user digest into its compeonent messages and save
them in a mailbox names Mail/debian-user.

# .procmailrc
#
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/Mail  # You'd better make sure it exists
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/log

:0:
* ^Subject:.*debian-user
| formail +1 -ds debian-user

Converting digests to indivual mail

[Mark W. Blunier]

I am subscribed to a mailing list that only sends out messages
in a digest form.  I would like to convert the digest back into
individual messages.  I use procmail to seperate out the digest
from the rest of the mail.  The format of the digest is

Header stuff
Title of digest
misc info
subjects in digest
---
Message #1
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Date:  the date
Subject: the subject

the message

---
Message #2
.
.
.
---
End of Digest
***


I'd appreciate any pointers what I need to do.

Thanks.

Take a look at the procmailex(5) man page.
