I'm very against HTML mail, just for the record. That being said, aren't there HTML filters for command line mail clients that will strip tags from your view of the text and make it more readable? Just wondering.
You can do it with procmail, but it's a lot less painful to just clobber the HTML posters with a frying pan.
Something like this, I think.. $HTMLDIR=$MAILDIR/HTML :0 aBw * ^Content-Type: text/html.* $HTMLDIR -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
