You can do it *almost* automatically by using gnus-binary-mode:

,----[ from the manual ]
| File: gnus,  Node: Binary Groups,  Prev: Pick and Read,  Up: Alternative Approaches
| 
| Binary Groups
| 
|    If you spend much time in binary groups, you may grow tired of
| hitting `X u', `n', `RET' all the time.  `M-x gnus-binary-mode' is a
| minor mode for summary buffers that makes all ordinary Gnus article
| selection functions uudecode series of articles and display the result
| instead of just displaying the articles the normal way.
| 
|    The only way, in fact, to see the actual articles is the `g'
| command, when you have turned on this mode (`gnus-binary-show-article').
| 
|    `gnus-binary-mode-hook' is called in binary minor mode buffers.
`----

RET or SPC will display the next message, and all the message's
pictures will be decoded automatically. If the message is part of a
series of messages with the same subject, all the pictures in those
messages will be decoded.

You're then presented with a minibuffer prompt for each picture. You
hit RET to OK the viewing command ('ee path/to/CoolPicture.jpg' or
some such).

Happy viewing -
