Okay guys, I understand the bandwidth issue. And I personally don't
like it when people send HTML tagged emails. But is it really that
hard to use ~/.mailcap? I mean if the mail is properly MIME tagged
you should have no problem with reading HTML mail with a capable
text-client. Mutt does it with `auto_view text/html' in muttrc and

text/html lynx -dump -force_html %s; copiousoutput; nametemplate=%s.html

in ~/.mailcap.... It's not like you can actually get ActiveX viruses
from lynx....
