Thanks a lot Earl for your very good suggestion !
2 last questions :
- how can I do in order to be able to display mhonarc output as a standard
email :
From:
To:
Subject:
Date:
<BODY>
Do I need to parse mhonarc output or is there a way to configure mhonarc to
do that directly ? Of course, when I say mhonarc output, I mean in reality
HTML->text output but since it depends on mhonarc output...
- anybody has a HTML->text translator to suggest instead of lynx in order to
take input from stdin ?
Thanks in advance for your help. Gildas.

Objet : Re: multipart emails (with HTML) translation to single

since those emails will be processed by an application which
needs that type
of format. Is it possible to do that with Mhonarc and how ? Or
is it better
to do that with another translator ?
MHonArc is oriented to converting to HTML, but the code base could
accommodate conversion to other formats.
A simple approach is to have MHonArc convert the message to HTML then
call a program that can dump HTML to text. For example:
shell> mhonarc -single message.822 > message.html
shell> lynx -force_html -dump message.html > message.txt
It would be better if the HTML->text translator can take input from
stdin so you can just pipe output from mhonarc to it, but if not,
something like the above can be encapsulated in a script.
Note, you will probably want to specify a resource file to mhonarc
that excludes data that cannot be converted straight to HTML/text
(e.g. image/*, video/*, application/*, ...). This will also avoid
the creation of files representing attachments.
