If you're hankering after this, you could try my script 'Save/Expand
Attachments' at
AppleScript Central
<http://www.applescriptcentral.com/>
You'll be happy to know that it was specially adapted to handle multilingual
message text, including Japanese. (The device for tracking the saved
attachment so you can get there from its original message involves adding
the attachment's name and the saved file's path name to the top of the
message, i.e. reconstituting the message content. This will work even if
some or all of the message is in Japanese.)
