Here's a file from my procmaillib. For a recent project I needed to

The potential problem is that it won't take care of multipart
messages, which is what a lot of the attached stuff gets sent as.
This is fine for a simple decoder and a demonstration of how to do
nifty things in Procmail, but you should probably revert to a full
MIME decoder app if you want robustness.
I don't think it would be impossible to do a good deal of all MIME
decoding in a Procmail script, but there's a lot of things in the MIME
spec that complicates things.
:0
* ^Content-Transfer-Encoding
{
mime_decode_encoding = `formail -zx Content-Transfer-Encoding`
This could probably be pared down to
:0
* ^Content-transfer-encoding:[ ]*\/.*
{
mime_decode_encoding = $MATCH
Hope this helps,
