Should not be too hard. First thing is to establish *what* to fire
the process on. Then use a filter process script. The script reads
the mail, throwing away the lines until it sees the *first* blank
line. It then copies the rest to wherever. The file name is easy to
construct.

A subsequent action on the filter would be to dump the message.
