I extract attachments using the metamail package (not available as a Fedora package as far as I can tell - had to build it from source; I can email you a tarball if you like). I use a wrapper script to put the files somewhere useful: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/bin/mailunpack That script relies on a bunch of other things from that script collection. You might just want to skip it for the metamail incantation. If you want to take it as-is, it may be easiest to just grab the whole css package: http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/css/ I normally run this script from mutt but it could easily be used from a procmail recipe. Disclaimer: I wrote these scripts and thus am a bit biased.
