Sounding like a broken record here: USE DEMIME! This script will
strip out all the HTML and RTF crap, producing formatted plain text.
I use it in a pipe to keep my command parser from croaking, and I
use it in a pipe to keep my lists html-free without playing nanny
and telling people what they can send. Easy. Functional. Free.
Works with any MLM, not specific to majordomo.
