I am unable to extract a base64 encoded mail message with mimencode -u

What does this have with Procmail to do? You should probably be asking
in comp.mail.misc or something.

or mimencode -ubp.  This command i am running on the message saved as text.

You should run mimencode on just the actual encoded piece, i.e. given
this caricature:

    Mime-Version: 1.0
    Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="foobar"

    Abandon all hope. This is a MIME message.

    --foobar
    Content-Type: binary/porridge
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64

    MoomOoMOomOomOoo=

    --foobar--

then only MoomOoMOomOomOoo= should be piped to mimencode and nothing
else.
