php/mysql: extracting email image attachment

[lazydave]

this should be possible, but i'm a bit of a novice when it comes to php/mysql

what i want to do is a setup where people send an email with a jpg image attachment to a certain email address. Some php(?) script scans the email and extracts the image, sending it to a mysql database, where i can then display the results as a photo gallery

I haven't used it but many people suggest using Procmail [procmail.org] for auto processing messages.
