Side Note: If working under Windows and ActivePerl, it is better to
use mhonarc.pl.  For example:

  mhonarc.pl -add inbox

This does not address your problem, but it is a more efficient invocation
method and things like I/O redirection work better.

Have a look at the MHPATTERN resource.  For example:

<MHPattern>
^\d+\.eml$
</MHPattern>
