Alex,

I don’t think there’s any builtin feature like this, but since MailMate has a 
lot of hidden power “under the hood”, this is almost certainly feasible.

One way to implement this would be to start with a rule in MailMate that 
applies “Export to Folder” for messages that match your criteria (having an 
attachment with a specific extension).

After you get the exports working, you can use one of many Mac utilities that 
will watch the export folder for new files and run a script to extract the 
desired attachment. Then you still have to figure out how to insert it into 
Apple Contacts (or wherever).

If you’re not a coder, then that probably sounds like a lot of arcane hacking, 
but maybe someone else on the list who is interested in something similar could 
help.
