Question Incomming EmailAttachments

Hello, I have a requirement to accept incoming email attachements on my server to be saved off and processed into a database. I can find lots of information on sending attachments but nothing about handling incomming attachments. I need to be able to test for an attachment, ensure it's ascii and save it off all with n a script or c program. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

We have a few rules here. One of them is:
(4) Do not 'bump up' questions if they are not answered promptly. No duplicate or cross-posting.

I have deleted your duplicate post.

As for your question, procmail is a place to start. It can process mail upon arrival. Handling a ascii mime attachment is very trivial...you really can just strip off a few header lines and keep the rest. But there is a tool called ripMIME that can process mime attachments.
