With a short procmail recipe you can filter incoming mails by the
Message ID. It uses formail to do that.

You did not tell us, where the mails are (ISP, local?) and which
protocol you use to access the mails (POP3, IMAP, local...). If you tell
that, maybe I can come up with some solution.

I don't know of anything built in into Evo.
