I contributed a class to phpclasses.org a while back that does this.
Check it out here:
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2816.html
It relies on PEAR Net_POP3 and Mail_Mime to do the heavy lifting. The
class method that end off the process returns an array of the message
body, subject etc, as well as a reference to the file that is attached.
I use it quite extensively in our e-learning system and framework as
well, so it works well.
