I'd try along these lines too. Check into simscan/ripmime. The mimes are
already split out by ripmime, I think in the simscan working directory. I
don't know if they get re-assembled to pass on, or how that actually works.
Ideally, you could replace the tiff/wav with the converted counterpart in
the simscan working directory, reassemble the message and pass it on. I'd
delve deeper into simscan and see if you can't put some hooks in there.
