No, not without some hacking. However this sounds much like the TkRat
database way of storing messages. In that case TkRat builds an
index-file which contains all the to and from lines (plus some more) for
easy searching.

So if you moved all the messages in your file into the TkRat database
then you could do what you want.

Internally the database stores each message as a plain text file and it
is possible to just cat them together to form a traditional mailbox.
