I'm in the same position. I'm surrounded by RTF and HTML email users who
occasionally attempt to communicate with fanciness rather than words. I
don't have an elegant procmail solution, but if it is just a small portion
of users, maybe my workaround will help.
I was in a vile mood one night and received several of these html
messages. Figuring I'd send back some garbage for them to handle, I hit
Reply, Include text and don't send as an attachment. Whoops, Unix Pine
3.91 converted my included reply into plain text! No revenge joy there.
I never could figure out how to get Pine to send the HTML as quoted text.
But at least now I could read the garbage.
So it's a pain, but for the occasional screwball, it effectively decodes
it. I have my config set for MIME aware, but it doesn't appear to have
an affect on the incoming stuff. If "reply with include text" doesn't
decode it for you, let me know and I'll send you more config info via
private reply. If it does work, let the list know so others might
benefit.

I need a procmail script to clean this up! (No, rejecting it or not
reading the messages is not an option)
