Forgive me if this is the wrong question in the wrong place, or if it's
already been discussed here, but...
Is there a filter or program that I can add to a UNIX system which will
convert incoming HTML-encoded emails to plain text before they are
processed by majordomo?
We've got about 3000 subscribers on a list, with a lot of AOLers, and the
HTML stuff with version 6.0 is giving us a major headache. Apparently you
*can* still send as plain text with 6.0, but it's a bit of a fiddle. A
friend of mine writes:
