Zitat von Violet <violet@torithoughts.org>:

Multipart/alternative/html/encoded woes ... ... So I'm wondering... is there any way [or can anyone here come up with a way] to make Smartlist simply convert any and all HTML/encoded messages to plain text? There has got to be *some* way to make that happen, doesn't there? I have other friends running mailing lists using other software programs and they've been able to do this, so it seems like Smartlist should be able to as well.

Use the same rc.local.sxx you are using now to reject certain attachments to pipe html attachments to a html2text converter. E.g. a free one is available at http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/~mbayer/tools/html2text-1.3.1.tar.gz Of course, you need at first to cut the html attachment from the mail and replace it then with the text part. There are a lot of free MIME tools available for such purposes, usable at the command line and in procmail recipes. If you know about perl you could use MIME modules on www.cpan.org which can be used to split up MIME mails and put it together in a new way. Werner
