# This is a filter which attempts to clean up MIME messages with HTML
# and binary attachments.  It strips the HTML and binary sections and
# flattens all multipart sections into one text/plain section.  We
# keep the MIME encoding type for the plain section.
#
# Note:  This script probably won't work properly for email with a lot
# of international characters.  It has only been tested on mailing
# lists with english content.
