That's not quite true.

The strange “All Message Subparts” mailbox (under “All 
Messages”) can be used to do this, but it's tricky. You'll need to 
first create a smart mailbox matching the emails you need. Then create 
another smart mailbox based on “All Messages Subparts” which matches 
any parts for which the root part is in the first smart mailbox. It 
looks like this:

You can add other conditions here, especially with regard to the 
Content-Type, e.g., only those matching `image` or `application/pdf`.

Finally, add a rule to export to the second smart mailbox.

I think you need the latest beta in order to get proper filenames for 
these files.

I'm afraid there is no easier way to do this now.
