One way to do it: 1) Scan a few of the kind of mails you want to do this to. Look for a `Contents-Type': header. Here is how one of the might look: Content-Type: text/html; charset=us-ascii. There are others This one has both a text and html version of the message. Once you have determined what content headers you need to grab: (Assuming you've already worked out the details of a functioning .procmailrc) :0 f * ^Content-Type: <your types go here in regex format> | my_stipper_script The `f' indicates that you want this to be a filter only. Not a delivery recipe. The message will be filtered thru your script then sent on to what ever else you want
