formail -D's files & their ever-increasing size

How does one pare down the "formail -D" files?  It apparently is in some
binary format (terminated by nulls?).  It's not a big problem right now,
but it's not clear what tools could be used for truncating or pruning the
file when it does get too large.

Thanks.
