The development source of Exim supports "if first_delivery" in filters.
Thus (in the next release)
if first_delivery then unseen save /archive/file endif
does a crude job. (The actual file name can be variable depending on any
expansion string you care to craft - per sender, per date, or whatever.)

Could be done with "header add", but that would of course add the
header to all copies of the delivery. However, the envelope can be saved
using Envelope-To on the transport that is used for the saving, and
indeed headers can be added on that transport too.
I think therefore that what is wanted can be done using the facilities
of the next release.
