       This is fine provided all of your incoming mail is in your INBOX 
   (i.e., still in the mail spool).  However, I, like _many_ people, use a 
   utility such as procmail (or filter) to pre-sort mail into various 
   folders before I ever invoke my mail reader (Pine, in my case).  I have 
   been wanting a utility (Perl OK) that would list the headers of mail not 
   only remaining in the INBOX but also in pre-sorted folders.

My personal prefernce is to use 'scan -file filename'.  scan is part
of the MH package.  I believe a crusty version comes w/ AIX, but
you're probably better off building the latest if you don't have it on
your system.  'frm' doesn't have enough flexibility for me, and it
only spits out the From and Subject fields.  I prefer to have more
info, so I alias 'frm' to this:

scan -form scan.spool -file $MAIL

My scan.spool:

%<(cur)+%| %>%<{replied}-%| %>\
%02(mon{date})/%02(mday{date}) \
%02(hour{date}):%02(min{date}) %3(tzone{date})\
%<{date}  %|*%>\
%<(mymbox{from})--> %5(mbox{to}) %|%8(mbox{from})  %>|\
%{subject}%<{body}<<%{body}%>
