Chris Adams replied with a suggestion of the program "hypermail",
and also mentioned a program called "MHonArc".

I recently had occasion to make the same decision and came up with
the following list of differences between the two programs:

    MHonArc                    Hypermail
    -------                    ---------
    Perl                       C or Common Lisp
    Unix or DOS                Unix
    MH or Unix mailbox format  Unix mailbox format
    MIME support               No MIME support
 
Neither one has built-in support for a search index (although both can
be used with other search indexes).  Both permit incremental updates.

I ended up choosing MHonArc because of its MIME support.  In many
environments one may be as good as the other.
