MHonArc does this.  Take a look at 

    http://www.oac.uci.edu/indiv/ehood/MHonArc/doc/app-mimeconf.html

    "Most application types are decoded and saved to an external file with 
     a link to the file created in the HTML. Some application types can be 
     converted directly to HTML."

It's had that facility since at least 1996 (which is when I last used
MHonArc.

Just about any web-based mail system has to have this sort of functionality
as well (Hotmail, Yahoo mail, etc).
