I need to write a program the grabs mail from a standard mail folder
and processes it.

The trouble is I have no idea what mail file format FreeBSD uses by
default.  I am using postfix, and currently postfix is my mta and mda.
I will be adding procmail as the mda.  I'm guessing procmail writes
the same kind of file the postfix does... but here I'm showing my
ignorance.  

I will be using python as my language and there are modules for MH,
maildir, mbox, and mailbox...  Anyone have any recommended reading for
me to better understand what I need to do?
