What would that look like as a maildrop rule or filter rule for Courier?

Well, yes, but... Personally, I think it would be nice if the cr.yp.to
lists were running ezmlm-idx with at least vcard, html, and everything
MS-binary in mimeremove. That would rid them of these braindamages once
and for all. For the uninitiated:

More or less true. The clueful people here are using mutt, VM and Gnus. I
wonder what DJB himself uses, but it appears to be mutt as well (pretty
obvious choice - it would take him days to tweak cc-mode in Emacs }:->).
