Processing email attachment

I have a question about how to extract an attachment from an email and save it somewhere else. This is done on a RedHat Linux box. I have a daily report that is emailed as a text attachment. One of the project requirements is that the attachment has to be processed with no human intervention. This presents me with 2 problems that I am having trouble solving. First, I need to be able to POP the email (I know that the mail command exists, but I don't know how to use it). Second, I have to be able to get the attachment and save it.
The plan is to put this together and have it run daily as a cron job.
Any help with either of these parts would be welcomed.
