Try saving it to a file and running munpack on it

This is probably a FAQ, but I didn't find it on the FAQ.

Thanks,

Here is a local addition to our munpack(1) man page describing what
works here.

     NOTES
          If a MIME message is forwarded using a non-MIME compliant
          mailer, its MIME encoding will not be recognized.  To fix
          this, save the message as a file and edit the file.  Look
          for the first Content-Type: mail header, and copy that
          header into the first "paragraph" of mail headers, somewhere
          after its first line.

(Then use munpack.)

Hope this helps,
