Apparently you are interested in taking incoming mail and placing it
in separate files so you can manipulate it there. MH already does
that.  The 'inc' command (for incorporate) reads your /usr/spool/mail
and places files in  a directory - like~/Mail/inbox.  ONce it's in
there you can use anything you want on it.  You can use MH commands in
a shell script also.  The FAQ was recently posted in comp.mail.mh.
If all else fails, you can e-mail me for more info.
