Adding to this theme: I receive voice mail as wav attachments, but I
don't "view" them through mutt. I have a procmail rule that sends
voicemail messages to a python script (attached). This script saves all
audio/* attachments to a designated location with a unique filename. It
could easily be adapted as an ad hoc bulk attachment filer.
