I want to seperate messages stored in different mbox-format files into 
distinct files containing one email each, with filenames of the type:
'20010101-1201-random_number.msg' (for a message sent on 12:01 Jan 1, 2001). 

I get the feeling with all these mail manipulation programs out there, 
there is likely to be one that understands a RFC 822 Date: header 
and converts the date to a simpler data structure.
Q 1.) Can someone suggest such a program ?

I then intend sorting these messages by date (i.e. by filename) and 
feeding them one by one to hypermail (Hypermail requires mbox files 
to be date sorted, otherwise it gets mixed up in date sorting)
Q 2.) Is there a better approach? 

Regards,
Sonam
