The "formail" program will take an mbox on input and run a program or
command for every message, redirecting the message to stdin of that
program.  Works delightfully.  Then you just have to create a script that
increments a number and cats stdin to that file.  I've done that in the
past.

Formail has some other very delightful things in it too...
