I don't have big enough lawyers for that. The first time someone posts
the Windows-trojan-du-jour to one of my lists, everyone who gets it will
suddenly blame _me_, because my server sent it to them.

>Stripping the HTML (deMIME)?

This is my current approach. If text/plain exists, use it; otherwise
convert text/html to plain and use that; if neither exists, trash the
message.
