My maildrop mail filter includes a standalone utility called 'reformime'
which, amongst other things, can grab an arbitrary MIME attachment, and
decode it.
reformime is experimental, it may have a few glitches here and there, but,
overall, it works. You will need to call it a couple of times -- first to
get the 'MIME layout' of the E-mail message, basically a schematic of which
attachments are attached where. Finally, use it again to decode the
attachments. This will require you to write a suitable shell or perl
wrapper, but the basic tools are there.
