Why is a separte program necessary?  I don't know-- I think I should
really get and build Elm so I know what I'm talking about when it comes
to issues like this.  but in mush, all you have to do is:

pick -s "pattern" | mail -f <address>

This forwards all messages matching a particular pattern to another site.
