We are all getting more and more email with the primary body in HTML, as well as the corresponding attachment.
Is there some program one can "pipe" the message into so as to strip out all the HTML cr^H^Hstuff?
Howabout demime? I use it on a mailing list to strip out all html and attachments and it seems to work quite well. You can just pipe messages through it and it will strip out html, attachments et al.
See scifi.squawk.com/demime.html, although the site seems to be down at the minute. You can also search for demime on google.
