Hi All,

On  Fri,  14  Sep  2001  at 11:06:48 GMT +0800 (9/14/2001 10:06 AM GMT
+0700 where you think I live) "Thomas F"=[TF] typed the following :

SH>> 1. On TBUDL I have activate "no attachment", HTML Stripe Out, Quote
SH>>    Printable conversion  and UnMIME stripe out.

TF> Since  "HTML  stripe out" is technically possible as we see, would
TF> this  also  be  technically  possible to be impleted in TB? If so,
TF> would anybody second this wish, as I get AOL mail and cannot balme
TF> the  senders: AOL does not allow for plaintext any more. An option
TF> to  strip  all incoming mail of HTML would also take care of OE/OL
TF> users.

I  worked  on  it  with  Allie,  using 3rd party (freeware) utilities,
sometimes ago, but we didn't get it work :-(
But  early  this  week  I  got some idea, so I will continue the trial
(actually  I  work it for MDaemon but I think it can be utilize on TB!
too  because  TB! having "run external program" action on the Filter).
If  anyone  interest  and wish to join (at least the idea), I or Allie
can post what we have been tried (on TBBETA or TBTECH more approprite,
I think).

Oops  I  forgot  I  have  discuss  with  Marck D. Pearlstone and David
Elliott too last August, i.e. using Perl to do this things.

TF> On  the  other  hand,  I  also receive messages that are HTML only
TF> (text/HTML  isntead  of  Multipart/HTML).  Would these be stripped
TF> to...  nothing? My wish would include to leave a plaintext version
TF> (as generated by the viewer - remember our former discussion about
TF> this) in the mail.

I  think  *stripe  out*  is  not  good choise, HTML conversion is more
approprite  just  like  Listar did (in Listar term we called "humanize
HTML", I like this term ^_^). With stripe out we will lose the text on
pure HTML message.

TF> Of  course,  the  setting  cannot  be global, as you might need to
TF> receive  some  mail  in  HTML,  e.g. newsletters. So my suggestion
TF> would be a filter item.

I fully agree with you.
