Hey Zachary,

My MUA believes you used The Bat! (v1.60q) Personal
to write [EMAIL PROTECTED]">mid:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
on Saturday, June 22, 2002 at 11:57:28 PM.

ZR I subscribe to a mailing list where almost all of the members send
ZR messages with HTML formatting. If you ask me, HTML in email is a
ZR waste and an epidemic.

A number of people on this list agree with (me included).

ZR But this mailing list is not computer related

...

ZR I have a folder made for all the messages to this list, but I'm
ZR wondering if there's a way to set a filter to delete the 'attachment'
ZR - that is the HTML formatting - from each message to the list.

Not easily, but you can look in the archives to see if there is
something usefull for you.

Note, it would be nice if you used a 'dash dash space cr' cut mark/sig
delimiter, as that will allow automatic trimming of your sig and the
message footers. Here is a cut from part of the FAQ at
http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/samples.html

,- [ Cut Mark description ]
| Now comes the sign off. It starts with a cut mark:
| -- 
| 
| This is a special sequence that starts on a new line and consists of
| two dashes (minus signs) and a space followed by another new line.
| 
| NewLinedashdashspaceNewLine
| 
| This cut mark is recognised by many email programs and is used as a
| cut off point for signatures. That way, when someone replies to one of
| your messages, your signature (anything below the cut mark) is
| removed. Likewise, when you reply to a message from someone that
| includes cut mark, The Bat! will remove anything below the cut mark
| from the text you quote.

filter to delete HTML attachments

2002-06-22 Thread Zachary Robbins

I subscribe to a mailing list where almost all of the members send
messages with HTML formatting. If you ask me, HTML in email is a waste
and an epidemic. But this mailing list is not computer related, and
the members have other things to do than to find non-MS email clients
to use. ;)

I have a folder made for all the messages to this list, but I'm
wondering if there's a way to set a filter to delete the 'attachment'
- that is the HTML formatting - from each message to the list.
