Doing ops on e-mail is IMHO better (safer) using tools that understand e-mail (just like you don't write your MBR with a hex editor). In this case you could use "munpack":
Code:
find dir containing files | while read file; do
 create tempdir and copy file there
 run munpack on file and copy attachments elsewhere
 destroy tempdir (contents)
done
