Pine is usurally better for handling patches than other mailers. In pine, you can save a message into a mbox using very few keystrokes, and if the patches are not encoded, patch can parse them from there.
BTW: I wrote a tool for handling MIME mails. Originally it was intended to catch spam in procmail, but it can safe the individual parts into seperate files, too. Maybe this is usefull:

(You'd use "cd $destdir && formail < $mbox -s mail-analyzer -copy_all -") -- According to my calculations the problem doesn't exist.
