Does anyone have a program (either for use within emacs or externally)
for sorting rmail files (i.e., Babyl files) by date/time?  (It could be 
either time of receipt or time of sending -- I'm not that particular.)
I want to use it for files with up to several hundred messages, so naive
implementations (e.g., actually bubble-sorting the messages) are likely
to be infeasible.

thanks,
