Yes, but it's not a good idea to put it in the distribution, at least
not without a lot of careful hedging about and making it an option
defaulting to off.  You can't even being sure that From_ lines will be
consistent within a single mbox.  See

I think the better approach is to do just what you did, and make a
site-specific script to do From-munging.  Of course there's nothing
wrong with putting them in a contrib section in the distribution; my
worry is about changing bin/arch.

IMHO YMMV
