I maintain a perl script called demime. demime takes a message and unmercifully flattens it - the message that comes out of demime is a single section plain text message with attachments elided.
Currently, I use either lynx or HTML::FormatText when I must interpret a text/html section. Frankly, both of these programs format html poorly. I recognize that plain text formatting will always have issues when people expect full graphical formatting, but, well, I do not care all that much. The real problem is that the above schemes either elide things or the order is screwed up. I was considering the use of elinks to do this formatting. I looked at the man page and decided that this would be a good start for a command line: elinks -anonymous 1 -default-mime-type text/html -dump 1 -dump-width 70 -no-connect 1 -no-home 1 -stdin 1 But this does not work. Specifying anonymous (which I need so that people can't use frames or other includish things to read files on my system) conflicts with -stdin 1 since that simply uses a file:///dev/stdin reference. But I don't want them to be able to crash my system or casually compromise it. I think what I really need is an option that says, "Do not resolve any urls in what I present you, just render it as best you are able without referencing anything out of the stream." I've read the doc and I can't find that option. Am I missing something or does that option not exist? -- Blog: http://majordomo.squawk.com/njs/blog/blogger.html Atom: http://majordomo.squawk.com/njs/blog/atom.xml RSS: http://majordomo.squawk.com/njs/blog/atom.rdf _______________________________________________ links-list mailing list links-list@linuxfromscratch.org http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/links-list
