   If you use mh within emacs (mh-e) then any inc'ed message can be written to a
   file using ">" command. With standard mh, you can do "show message > file", but
   beware that the file would have the format of your mhl filter.

If you want just the body of the file, try:

		sed '1,/^$/d' `mhpath +folder message`

I have a number of shell scripts which do this, extract files with filenames
on the subject line (as "Subject: Transmittal: filename"), extract uuencoded
files, extract shar files, extract and apply patch files (even catching the
flags listed in the message if the patch is created by metaconfig), etc.
