Only if you want to wear a big scarlet UUCA on your chest. It should be
formail -des < archive > file
or if you want to run each message through a procmail rcfile so that
procmail can determine whether it's one of the 10% you want to keep,
formail -des procmail -m special_rcfile < archive
where the special rcfile will set DEFAULT to the final file and have
whatever recipes are needed to send undesired messages to /dev/null (or it
can set DEFAULT to /dev/null and have whatever recipes are needed to send
desired messages to the final file).
[Hmm. That brings up a religious question if a cron job winnows the file on
the Sabbath.]
