You can do this with a Custom Function.
See /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/CustomFunctions
and see /usr/lib/MailScanner/MailScanner/Message.pm (location on my 
system may be different than yours)

MailScanner does this currently with word docs for example:
Message.pm: my @docfiles = 
MailScanner::Antiword::FindDocFiles($this->{entity});

So it should be doable!
