In my version of Gnus (the one that comes with the bzr version of Emacs)
there is a menu entry under Article->MIME called "Extract All Parts"
that is bound to 'X m'. It extracts all of the parts with a mime type
that matches a certain regex into a directory. I did not know about 'K
o' and so I have always used 'X m'. I think it does precisely what you
want.
