I'm just using munpack, with no arguments and it seems to generate
sensibly named files.
If fact, I use this script wrapper:
http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/scripts/mailunpack
and thus:
| mailunpack topic
which makes a subdir (in case of filename collisions) and optionally calls
a filing script to do things with the unpacked files.
Works quite well for some things.
