Try passing the -noarchive option to mhonarc. I forgot about it,
but I added it in a long time ago. Basically, it should go through
the motions of processing a mailbox, but will keep any files from
getting written.
Exception: Attachments will get written. I am not sure if you are
dealing with attachments. I recommend utilizing the ATTACHMENTDIR
and ATTACHMENTURL resources. This way you can have all attachments
placed in a single location.
The ATTACHMENTURL is important for the converted message bodies so
the links to attachments will work.

I'm looking into it. The -noarchive may be all you need, but I can
see reasons why someone may want to exclude messages after the body
is processed (e.g. a spam/virus check). I've already made edits to my
working copy to allow CB{Raw}MessageBodyRead to return a false value to
exclude a message from further processing. However, I need to check if
code is needed to reverse some of the side-effects in read_mail_head().

One thing you need to do is do the "already-processed" check. I.e.
If you rescan a mailbox for new messages, you will need to make
sure you do not reprocess messages already archived. You should
easily be able to do this in CBMessageHeadRead.
