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

NAME
claws-mail-attach-remover -- Attachments remover from mails DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the claws-mail-attach-remover This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. claws-mail-attach-remover is a plugin (loadable module) for the Claws Mail mailer. Enables the removal all of attachments from emails. When right-clicking a message on summary view, choose ``Remove attachments'' from the displayed submenu. USAGE
Before using a plugin you must instruct Claws Mail to load it on startup. For this you must go ``Configuration'' menu on main window toolbar, open ``Plugins...'' dialog, click on the ``Load plugin...'' button and select the plugin file, named att_remover.so, and press the ``Open'' button. BUGS
There is no way you can select individual attachments for removal. It's all or nothing. SEE ALSO
