    _______________________________________________________

Details:

As mentioned in bug #15415, broken HTML mail from YahooGroups (and by broken
I mean really broken, e.g. two <head> sections) gets swallowed up by
mhonarc.

I have little sympathy for broken HTML mail, but maybe it is a good idea to
run the equivalent of 'tidy' over any HTML mail. That way the disgusting
ivalid mess doesn't worm its way onto the web. Consdier it a defensive
measure.

What do you think?
