Alas, my system suffers from the same limitation. I have installed a
utility to decode MIME attachments (each into separate files) and it's
very inconvenient to use. My employer won't change to a system that
supports MIME and the vendor of the e-mail product, a big name in e-mail,
is not planning to support MIME in the next 12 months.  :(
