Reading the Attachment from UNIX email

Hi - How would you read in the attachment from your unix mail account? The attachment is in BASE64 so I need to isolate those lines so I can convert them. The number of lines varies from a few to a few hundred. To complicate matters, the mail box gets non related emails I want to ignore. The lines before the attachment look like this:

Code:
--========4567899043590==--
 Content - Type: text/csv
 MIME - Version: 1.0
 Content-Transfer-Encoding:base64
 Content - Disposition: attachment
  filename="Report_attachment 2017-01-28.csv"
 <SPACE>
 jkhdfuhusduidfnkjdfhljkhoiuhjflkjdhfuhudhf
 jdljkjuuouiyudfahkjiuiuykjkjhpoudpudfaouu
 nwliowedfiooindsdiuknjnojeweuihsdfiolkjioij
 kasdfjdfookfkdfjkadjfoisjdfsjpiudfidsfioiosdf
 <SPACE>
  --========4567899043590==--

In the header of the mail message it has this:
Code:
Content-Type multipart/mixed: boundary=" --========4567899043590==--"

I want to do this check programmatically multiple times per day.
Any ideas on the best approach to take for this??
Thanks!
