Hello

Thanks to all who have answered so far. Maybe my question wasn't that
clear: Is anyone else working on an HTML-cleaning *extension*to*
majordomo* ?

Sure, there are lots of solutions on the recipient side, but
discussions and rude comments regularly break loose on mailing
lists, because of HTML posts being distributed.

It's easy to bounce those posts completely, but I thought that
having them stripped by majordomo would be more (new)user friendly.
I also don't want to use a standalone solution, because toggling the
stripper on and off should IMO be subject to per-list configuration
and alterable by the list admin via "write config".

Regards,
--Andreas
