Re: stripmime-sims MacPerl/SIMS/Macjordomo utility

[Joe Sporleder]

I'll have to figure out how to use this. I am in a current situation 
where AOL users are frustrated with Macjodomo's block MIME attachments 
option that I incorporate on my mailing lists...this is especially 
frustrating since most versions of AOL since about version 5 or 6 will 
not even allow plain text sending of email. I have heard that at least 
AOL version 9 has addressed this tho'. Thanks for posting.

I've adapted Alex Wetmore's stripmime script for use with SIMS and
Macjordomo, running under MacPerl.
This allows for the automatic stripping of attachments and some 
simplistic
HTML -> plaintext conversions of incoming mailing list messages before
they are redistributed.

It's come in quite handy with the mailing lists we run on our server.

If you'd like to take a look at it, get it from
http://redbomb.com/stripmime/stripmime-sims.txt
Some brief setup instructions (SIMS account creation, SIMS Router
configuration) are in the comments at the top of the script.
Incoming messages are directed to a folder where they are processed by
this script and resubmitted to SIMS for delivery to their original
destination.
I saved it as a MacPerl droplet application and put it in my Startup 
Items
folder.

Hope somebody else finds this useful!
