Do you mean that you receive html attachements? Or do you mean that
the entire message is in html?

[to convert html to text]

If you receive pure html text, then use this

:0 fbw
* condition-to-determine-pure-html-body
| perl -0777 -pe 's/<[^>]*>//g'

[to kill extra attachements]

I wrote the MIME killer recipe to address this problem.
It will kill all known extra MIME cruft from MS or netscape programs and leave
the pure text.

Just install

    INCLUDERC = $PMSRC/pm-jamime-kill.rc

From the pm-code.shar, Available from file server mentioned in X-info header.
Cheers!

#   Applications...
#
#       Lotus Notes sends similar extra attachement and you can use this
#       same recipe to kill it. See example section.
#
#       Microsoft Express sends a copy of message in html format in the
#       attachement, you can kill that too, see example section.
#
#       Netscape's Mozilla sends a copy of message in html. See example.
#       Also it sends `vcards'
