I'm planning a generic mail archiving tool that will allow this, as
well as moving messages to other mailboxes with custom filenames (I use
~/Mail/archive/yyyy/<mailbox name>/mm-yyyy.<mailbox basename>), support
for multiple formats (Maildir working folders + gzipped archived mbox,
for instance) etc.

I use a less generic system atm that's tuned to my particular needs and
not particularly well written, but it's archived about 140,000 messages
and the wc of my ~/Mail dir has remained identical before and after use
:)
