   I've completed v. 0.1.0 of my first useful CRM script. It reads an
   email off stdin, identifies the MIME part that contains the sender's
   message, calls external programs as necessary to decode the message and
   outputs an email that can be read by any RFC 822 or 2822 compliant mail
   client. It even rewrites the Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding
   lines in the main headers (if present).

   It would be helpful to be able to be able to batch process a mail spool
   file and/or save the output in a file that could be processed in the
   same way as a mail spool or Mbox folder. What would the CRM idioms be
   for this?

If I recall correctly, one can toss stuff into the proper mailspool
directory and the demon just takes it right from there.

However, unless you're using procmail to trigger whether CRM114
needs to process the mail again or not, that might well give
you an infinite loop of processing without delivery.

So, we'd need to know more particulars... though using procmail
is the easy way out.  :)
