Various "some_program_to_strip_html" have recently been posted to this
list and are really off the topic of procmail proper.

Are they?

And the only difference to me between asking how to strip long sigs from
mail and how to strip html is the programs required.

I'd agree with that.

procmail is a tool for processing mail. (ie 'man procmail': "     procmail -  
autonomous mail processor")

This discussion would be off-topic for the pine-list, which is a  
mail-reader, but not for a mail processor.

One very useful tool recently was detecting HTML in the body where there was  
no corrent MIME-type for HTML in the headers.  This is one of the  
more-common ways of sending SPAM.
