Thanks. After a very quick look at the project website, this looks like what I need. > "groff -T ascii" is your friend (if you befriend berserker vandals...) ... and another great hint.

OK. I'll need to read up a bit more on this level of detail. But thanks for that pointer. > That raises an alternative option: if there *is* an "original plain text > message" which something else is encoding, maybe the better approach is > to fix the busybody encoder. If I could, I would. It seems harder and harder these days to find the controls to send only plain text in many clients. So, some of the problem is just the sender who wants to send plain text simply can't figure out how to do it (or else they think they got it right, but didn't). Other cases include the service provider converting the message without your knowledge. For example, some SMS providers do things like take plain text input, wrap it in HTML, then encode it in base64. Ugh. Michael
