    Do you know any easy way to just trash redundant HTML part of emails

For showing messages with HTML parts, you can use text-based browsers
like w3m, links, lynx, etc.  Here is what I have in my .mh_profile:

  mhshow-show-text/html: w3m -T text/html
  mhshow-show-text/x-html: w3m -T text/html


alternatively, to prevent the html from being shown, simply
provide no way of showing it -- comment out all "mhshow-show-text/html:"
lines in mh_profile (_and_ the system mh_profile, i believe).

since sometimes there's nothing _but_ an html section (grrr...),
you then need a way of viewing them only sometimes.  i use a
script that does:
    MHSHOW=$HOME/Mail/mhn.html mhshow -type text/html $*

the mhn.html file referred to by $MHSHOW contains the single line:
    mhshow-show-text/html: %p/usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%F' -dump | less

(but see earl's comments regarding lynx -- i should change this.)


For handling replies to such beasts, I wrote a Perl script
to handle it, leveraging mhonarc.  The script is called
mha-edit.  Info and download is here:

http://www.mhonarc.org/MHonArc/extras/mha-mhedit/

If you download mhonarc itself (which you will need), mha-mhedit
is provided in the extras/ directory.

thanks!  i'll have to look at that.
