Subject: Executing a script from .forward

I believe it is possible to execute a script from with in the .forward 
file. I would like to run a script which parses incoming mail messages 
into separate html files as they arrive. I've tested the script and it 
works correctly but the only other way I can think of doing it is by 
running a cron process every now and then. It would be much more elegant 
though if it could be done on the fly. 

If this can be done, can anyone tell me what the correct syntax is?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
