The only program I know that can do that is metamail. It is a very old program and it is not updated any more. it is included with the Debian Sarge (see: http://packages.debian.org/stable/mail/metamail ) It has some limitation, and you'll have to wrap it with a script to do what you want, but it DOES work (on any UNIX/Linux and even other OSs). I've written several scripts that use metamail to extract the content of received mail (even mail encrypted with GnuPG) and auto answer it. (If you want an example send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ).
