for whatever it's worth, the "next" version of mush can unshar messages
directly. It can untarmail tarmail files, etc... You can omit the whole
step of saving messages to a file. There may be some shortcomings to this,
so once it's available, you'll have to get back to me with comments.
for the time-being, save -s is about the closest thing you've got. I
typically use "save -s *" and end up with files named:
archive_name_part_1_of_5
archive_name_part_2_of_5
...
and so on... long and ugly, but it works...
