I enjoyed this piece, and I've wanted a similar thing before.

 > I expect any experienced programmer could write a basic attachment 
extractor in their language of choice inside of 30 or so minutes. 
Hooking up a DEFLATE library for decompression would be the most 
difficult part.

That held up well for me. Here's my 15ish minute attempt in python:

https://git.sr.ht/~tuxpup/pypng-detach/tree/main/item/pypng_detach/cli.py

Reading a null-terminated string to get the name feels a little 
contorted in python, but compression was very straightforward.

Thanks for posting a fun experiment.
