The current message is not in a single file. See chapter 48 of the
manual for a description of the two files that are used.
But it is not really intended that these files should be read by users'
filters.[*] The whole filtering mechanism has got pushed rather far
beyond its original conception. My design was that if users wanted to
process files on delivery, they should redirect to a pipe and do all the
processing completely independently of Exim. But of course, users never
use one's programs the way you intend them to. I should know that after
30 years...
