Hello,

Well, I'm in this trap. I'm sure if my company were use plain text as emailing
there wouldn't be any chance to get such infections like html mails are
carrying inside of them. My question is:

Is there any way to filter out html mails and "convert" them to plain text? As
I see on my e-mail client (kmail), it does it really nice, but what I'm
really looking for is doing it "on-the-fly" by sendmail for example.

So technically it is possible, that's for sure, but is there any complete
solutions/workarounds/scripts already working you know of?

Regards,
MBJr.
