Thinking out loud, could MIMEDefang be put to use here? It can defang each MIME attachment, using the text in lieu of the html for multipart attachments, and even running lynx -dump (possibly before calling spamassasin) on the other html attachments. This is all rather Draconian though. HTML-based mail can be a valuable method of communication for certain kinds or reports and documents. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
