Thanks, Matt.  I did see references to metamail in the archives, but I
understood this was a separate product rather than a procmail command or
keyword.  Do I need metamail as well, or can I do this with metamail and
skip procmail?  Or have I installed metamail when I installed procmail?

Metamail appears to be a commercial product.  Is there an open source
variant or is it this commercial product that I need?

Metamail isn't bundled w/ procmail.  It will have to install it in
addition.  Nor is it a commercial product, I think.  It might be open
source, but I'm not sure.  It's installed by default on my linux distro
(Mandrake).

It sounds like you want a pure procmail solution to extracting
attachments.  I think there's something like that out there somewhere.
Perhaps check out jari's docs (http://www.procmail.org/jari/).
