Not really. The decoders (internal and external) are only used to (optionally) prepare files to be checked by virus scanners, but their result can not be used to reassemble/modify mail. The only currently available mechanism for modifying mail body is to invoke an external program like altermime or anomy_sanitizer. Whatever results from these programs can be substituted for the original mail. The intent is to provide a way for an external program to add disclaimers or strip dangerous attachments. The interface is somewhat geared towards altermime, but in principle any program or shell script can be used in its place. The program is given a file (filename as argument) and it may modify this file, which is then collected by amavisd and forwarded. I'm not sure if altermime can deal with tnef, but there may be some other program which can do it.
