  Absolutely with procmail but I don't have a rule handy for that right 
now.  You might have to de-mime the files before the script can work on 
them.  Also, I would advise against changing the original email... at 
least save a copy of the incoming mail in raw form, then apply the filter
to a separate mail box... since the filter isn't perfect you might 
need the raw form to see what really happened.

    TTFN,
      Mike
