I wonder if such a thing does exist? Or if some other mail program can do the trick? Perhaps formail, but no idea how (yes, I have read the man).
Like Patrick "almost" said, you can just hit "v" to view the components of a file, and then you can use the other message manipulation things to manipulate the attachments. For example, "d" will delete a message part (which could be an attachment), "s" wil save, "t" will tag parts so you can use ";" to do something to several attachments. Etc.
Mmm. Using mutt, that is. One day I'll get round to try it again... I found the interface too complicated. (I knew more than one would say mutt ;-) The features you mention are available in Pine, like save, delete, etc. The only snag is that it doesn't put the filename in the removed notice. Perhaps I could try to patch Pine :-?
Even a library for programmers would help a bit.
Perl has some pretty nice MIME email handling components. The Email::MIME and Email::MIME::Attachment::Stripper modules are particularly relevent. :)
Ah, one more reason to learn perl :-) -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
