Yeah, I'm not sure of the advantages either, but what I would like is to be
able to strip HTML from incoming messages in selected areas (specigically, a
gated mailing list).  Simply selecting the text/plain MIME part is apparently
not the answer, I would like to be able to strip the HTML on messages that come
from a specific mailing list.  In this instance, the HTML probably adds no
benefit, so simply stripping it is enough.

Thinking about this further, this could be part of an email pre-processor that
strips HTML according to user or sysop preferences (i.e. by email address). 
Good for those who use BBS tools for their email on Synchronet.  Having it
optional would allow those of us who use POP clients to receive the HTML as it
was intended.

Is there any such beast around in JS that will run on Synchronet already?
