So don't use the "file" action. Don't bother trying to keep your
mailbox in Berkmail format. From my .maildelivery:

default	-	pipe ?	"/usr/local/lib/mh/rcvpack /var/spool/mail/wisner"
*	-	pipe R	"/usr/local/lib/mh/rcvtty -biff"

You will not be able to use any "traditional" software to manipulate
your mailbox since the messages will be stored in MMDF format. But
then, who cares?
