Check the email package.  Read about the following:

* email.message_from_file
(Assuming you have your incoming mail in a text file)
* class email.Message, its walk method

For each part in the .walk() call, check the .get_content_type() result,
and if it's an 'image/tiff', you have the image data calling
.get_payload(decode=True)

Roughly :)
