Maybe you could use the program 'ripmime' directly from bash. I found
it in the debian repositories. I use it manually through a mutt macro
macro index Ys "| ~/.mutt/saveattachments\n" "Save attachments"
in my muttrc file. The script 'saveattachments' is the following
#!/bin/bash
# put filenames into arguments
# empty directory unless it is already empty
set - ~/attachments/*
[ "$*" != "$HOME/attachments/*" ] && rm ~/attachments/*
ripmime -i - -d ~/attachments
I always use the same directory to save the attachments manually, but
I guess the lines above may be modified to let mutt save the
attachments automatically in the desired directory.
