Automatic message filing suggestions/recommendations?

Here is the task I've been given:

Each day our users forward about 1000 messages to a specific user's alias.
This user then goes through each message which contains a job number in the
subject field and saves them in an email folder under that specific job,
including attachments if there are any.
i.e. I send a message with subject "New Preliminary Project #4596". The
other user would save this message under \\fileserver\4000s\4596\email as New
Preliminary Project #4596.html/msg/txt depending on message format.
There may also be multiple messages with the same subject, so (1),(2), etc.
is appended to each subsequent save.

The owners of the company are now interested in automating this process.
Does anyone have suggestions, scripts, recommendations, or is this process as
impossible as it seems to me right now?

1000 messages - let's say each takes 1/2 minute to process - that' s an
entire working day doing nothing else!

It is entirely possible to automate. Might be worth paying someone to write
custom code.
