Default Extract mail body into a file

Hi,

i have my mails in the mbox-format on my machine.

Is it possible to extract the mails body for each
mail and save body (all ascci-text) in a file and
then delete the mail.

These should be done for every mail in the mailbox.

Is it possible to do this ?
Any Tutorial in the net.

I googled, but had wrong words or there is no answer out yet.

Best Regards,

Rainer

Try "formail" and comp.mail.misc.
