If that problem ever gets solved, blind users of the internet could do
two useful things; first read things faster, and prevent lots of images
from taking up user quota space. Those blind that can hear would not
want audio content in video or audio files filtered out though.

Can someone point me in the right direction?
You might be able to adapt or wrap the mimeprint script from the examples
includes in the Perl MIME-Tools package. It can disassemble and decode all
parts of a message for you.
Of course, there's no guarantee that a message *has* a meaningful text body,
or that the text part of a multipart/alternative message resembles what a
common MUA will show a user by rendering the HTML part.
