We do the same in FastMail and ship an implementation with open-source Cyrus as part of the annotator. It's also used by the JMAP code to populate the JMAP data.

We don't use $HasNoAttachment any more though, we just set a flag to say "the server did the processing". It would be easy to switch to a more standard processing for new messages, or even go back and re-process existing messages.
