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.

From the summary buffer you have `gnus-summary-save-parts', bound to `X
m'. Maybe you can craft a simple macro for operating on several
messages.

Can any one offer some input on commands for writing attachments to
disk that work on a mass level rather one at a time.
I normally use `K o' to write an image to disk but that is going to be
very tedious with the mass of images I'm now receiving.
The command requires that I leave the summary buffer and move to the
article buffer then move point to the attached item, them press `K o'
and give a file name.
That will not do it for some 100 images over several messages.
