Can procmail and links or elinks be used together to force a reformat of all
incoming email to ascii-text format?


Yes.  I did this for a client, and it was a lot of work.

:0f
* ^Content-Type:.*html
| links -dump

Not that I recommend doing this. The HTML email battle was lost long ago.

I just set my client to display plain-text and I unsub from lists and merchants 
who insist on sending me html only (like I just unsubbed from mwave after many 
years since their plain text alternative is not useless).
