Probably, it only really needs to be a script that wraps maildir2mbox
and mhonarc. It shouldn't be a big task, but it will be a big niceness.

* I'm not sure a Plugin should be an exploder internally, possibly it
needs some form of interface specification. "I expect a message per
user" "I expect a single message".
* Consider:
--- < ReplyTo + --- ListHeaders --- Send
|
\ === =========== === Send
Now ListHeaders expects just one input, which it munges. We could:
- Operate on a superposition of messages
- Do some funky proxy-object crap
- Disallow single mungers after exploded mungers
Now I don't like any of those too much, which is why my head hurts.
