I am sure this can be done with sieve but I am starting to learn it now ....

With procmail it's just trivial ....
After making sure it is a mail destined to your application, you just 
pipe it there

# Last delivering recepie after spam cheks etc ....
:0
| /path/to/my/processing/application 

You might also have a look at ripmime ( rips mime attachements from a 
mail ) ...
so you can combine all ....

Cheers
