Obviously a better method, yes. But when I reply, I will not get the received text quoted ready for editing if the email is void. The best approach might be to take the output of w3m (or links2, elinks, or lynx) and write that back instead of the original attachment. Then the archive copy will be neat and parsimonious, and any reply will have text to edit. I wonder how to find $myMessageId to do that. Could even automate it so that it happens for every void email with an html attachment before I even open it... -- richard -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
