I missed most of this discussion but...
whats wrong with the old standby procmail?
Here is the procmail filter I use here at work (not as complex as the 
one at home but...I don't care as much since here I fetchmail -k)

anyway...procmail is easy and great...and I am yet to see a unix-like
system without it...
and...here is my filter:
