Automatic deletion of html attachments
I can't see anything obvious in the filter actions, but some Yahoo mailing lists have a nasty habit of sending me a message.html attachment, i.e. content type text/html. In such cases, I see a text and an html tab Is there any way of using filters to delete those HTML attachments immediately? I want to keep the actual text mail, but only get rid of the HTML.

Forwarding HTML attachments
Hello Bats! I receive daily comic strips in the form of HTML. Although TB! now allows me to view these from within TB!, they each come with an HTML attachment called MESSAGE.HTML. These attachments are represented as FireFox icons and if you click on one, FireFox gets launched and goes straight to the URL which contains the comic. As a test I forwarded one of these to my GMAIL account and saw that, prior to sending, the FireFox attachment was replaced by an attachment called 1.EML. The email I received in GMAIL showed that there *was* an attachment (called 1.EML) but when I clicked on it, a screen full of HTML code appeared. Am I somehow not viewing the message properly from GMAIL or, since the FireFox icon attachment is nowhere to be found when the message is forwarded, cannot properly view the attachment? -- TIA, Jack LaRosa Using The Bat! ver: 4.2.36.4.

That reminds me of a thread some time ago about the differences in the appearance of a html attachment in TB!, some people reporting .stm, some .shtml and some other extensions. The second problem is that there is no plain text part, only the html part.

Re[2]: HTML attachments (was; Uninstall Problem-Help.)
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear Lars On 13 April 2001 at 10:23:57 +0200 (which was 09:23 where I live) Lars Geiger wrote or so historians believe First of all, there is no name for the attachment anywhere. True. That reminds me of a thread some time ago about the differences in the appearance of a html attachment in TB!, some people reporting .stm, some .shtml and some other extensions. Interesting idea. It looks like it based on the set up of each receiving computer The second problem is that there is no plain text part snip So I guess TB! can only delete a html part if the content type is multipart/alternative. That makes sense. DE What I do like is the last lines added by the list it DE looked like DE Archives :Moderators :TBTech List:Unsubscribe: Ack. Same here, and that's really strange, as these lines are correct in the exported message. Correct but these lines fall outside of any html/html tags. The message and the [You are subscribed as] line both fall inside some of these tags. - -- Thanks, ___ David | MUA :- The Bat! 1.52 Beta/1 | E-mailaholics | _| Win 2000 Server 5.0.2195 SP1 | International | | TABTRB: #12 Taglines never make you sleep on the wet spot. | -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: PGP 6.5.8ckt (Build 04/01) Comment: PGP Signed, sealed, delivered. iQA/AwUBOta/pPmK8eZlD0U0EQIcigCgglUnw4vjPP1H+bi1FwNe/S4YEZgAoK0l wh7USPus65ErHolQaRcUtCgL =7sKn -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- __ Archives : http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com Moderators : mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] TBTech List: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org

Re: Why to delete HTML attachments (Was: Re: Can't delete HTML Attachement...)
Hello Januk Aggarwal, On Sat, 6 Jan 2001 at 22:05:28 GMT -0800(which was 1/7/2001 1:05 PM where you think I live) you told to the list : KJ I just received a message written in HTML which I tried to delete the KJ HTML attachement as usual. ^ (Besides of the original problem) May I ask you a stupid question - why? :-). As for me, it seems to be useless to alter incoming messages in any way in most cases... JA I have correspondents who send me HTML mail with Outlook. Their JA sigs have these fancy fonts, but otherwise there is no need for JA HTML. I delete the HTML portion to reduce the wasted space on my JA HD. I can do this because Outlook generates both the HTML version JA and a plain text version in each message. It looks like Kari's JA correspondent sends HTML only. I run mailserver utility to remove HTML part of *all* messages address to my domain, and I notice I got 99% working well ( most of message on HTML format also having plaintext part). Unfortunetely this utility make this List slow if I utilize for this busy list :-( -- Best regards, - Syafril - ..Opinion expressed are only mine * Name : Syafril Hermansyah |Company : Duta Integrasi Pratama Mailto: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Voice : (62) (21) 385-1600 FAXto : (62)(21)351-9241 key:000FAX |URL : http://www.dutaint.co.id * Created : Sunday, January 07, 2001, 11:14:16 PM GMT +0700 -- -- View the TBUDL archive at http://tbudl.thebat.dutaint.com To send a message to the list moderation team double click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe from TBUDL, double click here and send the message: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -- You are subscribed as : archive@jab.org
