The formail program is the right tool for the job here. Getting the
shell quoting to work as required is a bit tricky, but I think that
something along these lines should work:
formail -s sh -c 'cat > $FILENO' < /var/spool/mail/david
Check out the formail man page, especially the sections on the -s
switch and on the FILENO environment variable, for details of how this
works.
