Is there a way to get mhfixmsg to decode the base64 and then run it through

Yes, via mhfixmsg-format-text/html. See the mhfixmsg and mhshow man pages.
I did read those man pages, but perhaps I'm still failing to understand
parts of them. I do know how mhfixmsg-format-text/html specifies the
command which generates the text/plain part from the text/html part, but
I don't see how to do that and also reformat the text/html part.
Maybe "reformat" is a misleading name. It doesn't change a
text/html part, for example, in place. Instead, it creates a
text/plain version and inserts that in a new (with the default
-noreplacetextplain) text/plain MIME part. With -replacetextplain,
the content in a corresponding, existing text/plain part is
replaced.
mhfixmsg takes care of the decoding from base64, then feeds the
decoded content to the command specified by
mhfixmsg-format-text/html. That command can be whatever shell
command, including a pipeline, you'd like. So you should be able to
do whatever formatting you wish. The result is placed in the
text/plain part.
