I have thought this for a long time. I cannot show a good solution but
I have one small idea.

Now Mew has a burst feature ("B") but it decomposed messages only.  If
we can enhance this so that every attachments are decomposed into a
directory, you can do what you want in the command line.

You can emulate this by "E". After typing "E", you can find decomposed
files in the Mail/attach directory. 

If you like this idea, I will implement this.

Install w3m and emacs-w3m (http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/). And put
the following to your .emacs.

(setq mew-w3m-auto-insert-image t)
