Guess I won't be able to use 
mailboxes `echo $HOME/Mail/*`
anymore.
Hey, wait a sec, 
mailboxes `echo -e $HOME/Mail/* | tr -s ' ' '\012' | grep -v outbox`
works just fine!

Hey, I didn't think of procmail:
     :0
     * From:.*[EMAIL PROTECTED]
     * Subject:.*Fwd:
     | formail +1 -ds >> forwards
