This may be possible. There are some details missing, though. How
does this message get to Brian in the first place? Does it show up over
SMTP? If so, the solution will probably involve something like having
the MTA look for a particular sender, then pass that message off to an
external filter script. The filter script would then have to split the
message up into body and attachments, then base64 decode those
attachments into a temp directory, then do a convert command like the
one Joe posted earlier on all of those attachments, then stitch the
message back together, then pass it back to the MTA, then clean up.
I don't know of anything pre-built that'll do all that off the top of
my head. There's always the wonderful "import email" part of python, if
python is an option, and there are also mail-parsing Perl modules.
