This might come as a surprise: All attachments are in the body.


Since when do attachments get opened up in the body of a
message?

What you call 'the body' is not the body. On technical mailing lists
like this one, such terms tend to have a very specific meaning that
don't need to have anything to do with what a particular e-mail client
(another one of those terms) presents.

Read RFC 2822 for the details http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html

From 2.1:

   A message consists of header fields (collectively called "the header
   of the message") followed, optionally, by a body.  The header is a
   sequence of lines of characters with special syntax as defined in
   this standard. The body is simply a sequence of characters that
   follows the header and is separated from the header by an empty line
   (i.e., a line with nothing preceding the CRLF).

The 'header fields' we sometimes call 'headers' here, but I try not to
do that.



can
you just fill me (us) in on the steps that you would go through to do
this?

I would look for mimedecode in the archives.
