There's also the "formmail" tool from the procmail package.  That's 
probably more robust than the awk script you mention, takes up less 
memory, is faster, etc....  Of course, it also requires that you 
download and install at least that part of procmail, so it requires 
more work.

Yeah, you want to run that tool on the chunks in order, otherwise I 
think that the message number generation scheme will at least get 
ugly, if not confused.
