You could conceiveably make a macro and tie that into a key, using the
.muttrc, but this is iffy, at least for what you want to do, as you would
have to put in waits somehow to have it do a l (search for whatever), then
wait, then search snippet, then save attachment to location. Very
complicated for a mutt macro.  Why don't you just hit l (el), and enter
snippet. it wil dig it out and you can save the attachment quickly. OR, do
it the linux way(1), with procmail, as previously mentioned. <g>  This
does the automation for you. 

1. Linux way, many small programs that do one thing, one thing only, and
does it well.
