another command line program that may be of interest is mpack and munpack.

I haven't built email filters like you're describing- but mpack is great 
for assembling a bunch of text and attachment files into a message file 
that can be passed into a command line mail program.  Could be used if 
you're trying to automate messages w/ logs attached or something.

On the other end - munpack is great for taking a message and splitting 
the attachments out of it.
