	I'm not sure I understand the problem, do you need to get your
mail from a mailbox into MH folders?  The procmail distribution
includes a utility called 'formail' that supports Content-Length.  So,
if inc was giving you problems, switch to formail + procmail.  You may
want to go this even if inc wasn't giving you problems.
