use procmail for this.  As soon as the mail is received, pipe it to a 
procmail filter that will ungzip it into the relevant directory.

Something like this:

:0:
*^From:.*(from_address)
|filter_program

and your filter program will split the mail into header, body and 
attachments.  I had written a perl program to do this, but don't have it 
with me at the moment.  Will post it if I find it.
Then, ungzip the attachments.

The entire string within the <> is the message-id.  It is an unique 
number used to identify a mail leaving a mailhost.  It is generally 
formed by the timestamp, mail's id in the queue, and the name of the 
mailhost.
