Best tool for MIME handling in scripts?

What do folks here use for massaging MIME messages in shell scripts?

For instance, the task at hand is to take incoming mail from a scanner, 
strip out the MIME attachments (PDF's), and dump them in a folder.  
There should be a tool that I can pipe the message to, specify an 
option to save, an option to specify a save location, an option to 
specify the MIME types to handle, and call it from procmail.

I've found munpack, reformime, Perl's MIMETools, but none has jumped 
out as the tool that does things The Unix Way.

Any suggestions?
