Simple. Save the email to a file, then (from a console) enter:
uudecode filename
uudecode will put the picture (or any encoded file) into the properly named
file for the attachment *as it was added*. It really is simple, I was just
exercising my laziness.
However, I've since realized that putting an automatic uudecode into Kmail
would open a back door almost as large as M$ likes to put into their
*secure* software.
