I found a perfect solution, just in case anyone needs it in the future. It is a free program called UUDeview. There is both a windows version and a Unix version available for download at
http://www.fpx.de/fp/Software/UUDeview/ (I hope I'm allowed to post a link on here, if not....forgive me). It gives you exact instructions on how to install it into Unix. To decode attachments of an email, you simply type the command and the file to be decoded (i.e. the mail spool file). The program will extract and decode all of the attachments, and save them to your directory with the same name as they were sent, Works like a charm!
Not only does it encode files encoded in base64, but it also decodes files encoded in BinHex, uuencoding, and xxencoding. The only setback is that when you send an attachment from yahoo, hotmail, etc, if the attachment is a regular text file or .cpp file, .java, etc, the files are not encoded, so the program does not extract these files because they are not encoded, but I will get around this by simply writing a script to extract the text files myself, and let the program do the rest.
Just figured I would put this info here just in case someone needs it in the future, which is probably very unlikely!

applesingle
APPLESINGLE(1) BSD General Commands Manual APPLESINGLE(1)
NAME
applesingle, binhex, macbinary -- encode and decode files
SYNOPSIS
<tool> probe file ...
<tool> [decode] [-c] [-fv] [-C dir] [-o outfile] [file ...]
<tool> -h | -V
applesingle encode [-cfv] [-s suf] [-C dir] [-o outfile] file ...
binhex encode [-R] [-cfv] [-s suf] [-C dir] [-o outfile] file ...
macbinary encode [-t 1-3] [-cfv] [-s suf] [-C dir] [-o outfile] file ...
DESCRIPTION
applesingle, binhex, macbinary are implemented as a single tool with multiple names. All invocations support the three verbs encode, decode,
and probe.
If multiple files are passed to probe, the exit status will be non-zero only if all files contain data in the specified encoding.
OPTIONS
-f, --force
perform the operation even if the output file already exists
-h, --help
display version and usage, then quit
-v, --verbose
be verbose
-V, --version
display version, then quit
-c, --pipe, --from-stdin, --to-stdout
For decode, read encoded data from the standand input. For encode, write encoded data to the standard output. Currently, "plain"
data must be written to and from specified filenames (see also mount_fdesc(8)).
-C, --directory dir
create output files in dir
-o, --rename name
Use name for output, overriding any stored or default name. For encode, the appropriate suffix will be added to name. -o implies
only one file to be encoded or decoded.
-s, --suffix .suf
override the default suffix for the given encoding
-R, --no-runlength-encoding
don't use BinHex runlength compression when encoding
-t, --type 1-3
Specify MacBinary encoding type. Type 1 is undesirable because it has neither a checksum nor a signature and is thus difficult to
recognize.
DIAGNOSTICS
In general, the tool returns a non-zero exit status if it fails.
