Here is my action called "Save all attachments":

cd $HOME/tmp ; mhstore -auto -file %f

It uses 'nmh':
========================================================================
Description: A set of electronic mail handling programs
 This is the nmh mail user agent (reader/sender), a command-line based
 mail reader that is powerful and extensible.  nmh is an excellent
 choice for people who receive and process a lot of mail.
 
 Unlike most mail user agents, nmh is not a single program, rather it
 is a set of programs that are run from the shell.  This allows the
 user to utilize the full power of the Unix shell in coordination with
 nmh.  Various front-ends are available, such as mh-e (an emacs mode),
 xmh, and exmh (X11 clients).
 
 nmh was originally based on MH version 6.8.3, and is intended to be a
 (mostly) compatible drop-in replacement for MH.

Good luck in finding it for windows. ;-)
