You can use mimeStrip available at http://oneguycoding.com/opensource/
mimeStrip has lots of uses. For example I use it in a procmail recipe
to do exactly what you are looking for.

| /usr/local/bin/mimeStrip.pl --dir=${HOME}/attachments
:0:
lists/yahoo
}
This recipe will save the attachment to my attachments directory, and
strip them from the original email and save it to the lists/yahoo
folder.

You can use these to write scripts that will extract various parts of an email. Once you write your script, I think you can get procmail to call the script so that the processing can be done when emails are initially received. (I have no personal experience doing such a task.)
