| Not directly, to my knowledge, but should be do-able via macro.

| extract the attachments to $temp

As a step towards part 2, the "munpack" command will unpack the attachments
of a MIME message. So your macro could pipe the message into a shell script
which makes the temp directory, runs munpack on the input, runs your view,
then tidies up as outlined above.
munpack isn't widely installed though.
