Don't hurt yourself.  :-)  If you want, the man page for procmail includes
a script for doing exactly what you are asking:


       Procmail can also be invoked  to  postprocess  an  already
       filled  system  mailbox.   This can be useful if you don't
       want to or can't use a $HOME/.forward file
