I totally agree that this is a MAJOR pain and an annoying limitation.
AOL has listed a number of programs that can convert the MIME files to 
a format that AOHELL (as I refer to it!) can understand depending upon 
whether the recipient is a Mac user or a PC user. AOHELL users can look 
for these at AOHELL Keyword MIME.
Decode da Code is one available for the Mac that seems to work well.
Also, while Aladdin's unstuffit is supposed to work with these to 
convert the files, I have found that if there is more than one photo 
attached, sometimes unstuffit won't give you all of the photos.
Hope that helps a bit.
