What I use is:

if envelope :detail :regex "to" "(.+)" {
    set :upperfirst :lower "detail" "${1}";
    fileinto :create "Tagged/${detail}";
    stop;
}

Which says "if the envelope detail is not empty, copy it to a variable
called 'detail' and titlecase it, then file the message into
Tagged/$detail, creating that if necessary". I think the most relevant
part here is using a regex to match on the detail - that copies the
value of the detail into $1, which you can then use as you see fit.
