I'd like it if I could arrange this procedure so that each file gets

single message, the filename is either the contents of the Date:
field, a concatenation of the Subject: and Date: fields together, or
maybe the Subject: field concatenated with the $FILENO variable that's
mentioned in the formail(1) manpage.
Write a Procmail recipe file to do this and do
formail -s procmail .recipefile < folder
You might want to make sure you test this in an environment which uses
different default settings than your normal Procmail entirely, so as
not to fill your inbox with old messages if you miss something in the
filter, for example. (Setting ORGMAIL to something different should do
for that I think?)
Hope this helps,
