Well if you use a mail client that supports Maildir, you can access
them with shell scripts because they're all in separate files.

Also, there are a couple of libraries available for message parsing.
c-client is one. mimelib another (C++) and librmm another (Qt).

BTW, librmm is used in Empath and in the new version of kexpress.
I included it cos I wrote it ;)
