I just tried 'printmail' that strips off most of the unused stuff:

Doesn't seem like it saves enough, and it will prevent people from
reading the mailbox in their mail readers.

Compress takes it to 100k, which is much smaller. Of course, the tar
file has it compress too, so pre-compressing it doesn't buy us anything.
