I'm not sure what grep is, but even so, that still means you have to
keep all the raw messages which seems a little unfortunate. The few
lines of text the headers consume does not seem like a lot of overhead
(to me) for the benefits it gives.

One of the reasons I'd like to delete the raw messages is that I'm
having to use -single with -mhpattern, and it's causing a performance
hit. MHonArc has to parse lots of messages to determine which ones are
new.
