Removing attached doc from an email

How would you approach a problem of removing an attached document from an email?

Later I would parse that attachment and put the data into a database. Can do that part.

Unfortunately, I'm not use to the various mail programs - have been looking at sendmail and postfix but haven't noticed a solution yet. I'm reading an reading but thought someone knows of a good link or a good code snippet. I'm looking for a way to deal with other who what to send data via email instead of in a folder or something.

NAME
calibre-smtp - part of calibre SYNOPSIS
calibre-smtp [options] [from to text] DESCRIPTION
Send mail using the SMTP protocol. calibre-smtp has two modes of operation. In the compose mode you specify from to and text and these are used to build and send an email message. In the filter mode, calibre-smtp reads a complete email message from STDIN and sends it. text is the body of the email message. If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
--version show program's version number and exit -h, --help show this help message and exit -l, --localhost Host name of localhost. Used when connecting to SMTP server. -o, --outbox Path to maildir folder to store failed email messages in. -f, --fork Fork and deliver message in background.
