Automated handling of attached files with souper/yarn

I'm the sysop of a BBS and I have the option of getting message
packets via the Internet using e-mail with file attaches.

I'm looking for a way to automate the process. Currently I use
souper to get my mail and Yarn to process it. What I was thinking
of doing is setting up a filter in yarn to put the e-mail with file
attaches into a "folder", then process that folder later. My
question is, is a "folder" under Yarn just an ASCII file? And once
I process it, how can I delete the messages in it? Does "expire"
work on folders, or do I just delete the file, or what?
