I would just bounce it straight, or delete it. Lusers who send html
email should not be encouraged.
My personal opinion only, of course.

Hhm. I've played around a bit with emil, but couldn't figure out
anything useful. Maybe metamail, or reformime (from the maildrop
package), or a combination of those and emil might work.
Check out the procmail archive at

Html conversion was discussed only recently (March) IIRC. For the other
question, it could be worth posting to the procmail users list directly.
