textmail can probably do at least some of what you want:

    https://raf.org/textmail
    https://github.com/raforg/textmail

and it has some extensibility so you can supply external
translation programs for the bits it doesn't do.

it can operate on individual mail messages or mbox files.
check the output carefully. :-)
Thanks, that looks very helpful to strip attachments, to remove headers
and to convert message bodies - but it lacks the option to perform a
search and replace on message bodies!?
The -C option lets you supply a custom external
"attachment translation" program. That might help.
Something like "-C text/plain:txt:cmd". You just need
to write the "cmd" program in the language of your
choosing. If it doesn't work, you could modify textmail
to do what you need (rather than writing the whole
thing) if you like perl.

Thanks, I didn't expect it there.

I guss some simple sed commands would be good enough here.
If you try it and run into problems, let me know (off list)
and we can probably get it to work.
Would I still need mutt to do the mails one by one and pipe them to
testmail?
I expected testmail to work on full mbox files, but it handled the first
mail only.
