Perl and the MIME::Decoder package (named libmime-perl and
libmime-base64-perl in Debian) should help you here as the last
resort.
In addition, the Gnus mail and newsreader (for Emacs and XEmacs) is
should[1] be able to handle each one of these messages as single one and
saving them in a folder should not be complicated.

[1] Untested, I havn't seen MIME digest yet. Normal digests (as
posted in comp.risks) are handled well.
