   Procmail can run a script to do so.  There's a program called "munpack",
   available from ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/pub/mpack, which can be used to
   break up a MIME-type message.  I was able to break up your original
   message by just saving it to a file and running munpack on that file.

   Look in the procmailex man page for examples of sending an entire mail
   message to a program or script.
