Hi Wade,

I let MHonArc strip a message footer when archiving a mailing list.
Normally MHonArc uses mhtxtplain.pl to filter plain text, but by using
the <MIMEFilters> resource I make it use a modified text/plain filter
instead, in which I have added some strip code. Please feel free to
study my solution in qrmailarc.rc and qrarc-txtplain.pl. You find them
at ftp://ftp.gunnar.cc/pub/gunnar/mhonarc/.

Please note that in my case the message footer is fixed.

This surprises me; are you sure that they are not included in the HTML
source? If they are, you could try something like this:

    $data =~ s/<!--\sbegin[\S\s]*?-->[\S\s]*?<!--\send[\S\s]*?-->//g;

Or else you could try this:

    $data =~ s/-{27}[\S\s]+?-{28}[\S\s]*?-{72}//g;
