I'm pretty sure this is what the FilterMail filter in beagle *currently* does.

From what I've seen, it seems beagle uses the standard File Indexing backend 
to recursively scan directories. If the file is an rfc822 file, it filters it 
through the mail filter which indexes it - all that works fine for me, except 
for the fact the mail doesn't show up later in the search results.
