I usually use GNU Emacs's VM mailer which can sort various ways, but
this sounds interesting too:

GNUS can do it.  Pick up pub/gnu/emacs/elisp-archive/packages/gnus-3.13.tar.Z
from archive.cis.ohio-state.edu (NOTE NEW HOME for archives at OSU CIS) and
look at contrib/mail-n-news.  I've been using this scheme for a little
over two years now.  Kill files for personal.general are a wonderful
thing.
