Subject:html text filtering
From:Mark Fitzsimons
Date:Tue, 24 Jul 2001 18:20:33 EDT

The note below is from another listserve.  Given the concerns that folks on
this list have expressed about html text,  is their solution to it worth
considering here?  It would certainly clean up the digest version!

<< VintagVW group: I have set up a more sophisticated filter to deal with
attachments and HTML encoded messages on the list.   Inbound messages
containing either of these elements will have the plain text element of the
message appended by the note:  "* --- HTML/Attachments detected; removed from
message. ---*   I may remove  this informative message after people get used
to the filtering.

I've tested the filtering with various email programs, including  AOL V6
webmail, and it seems to be working properly.  I'll be monitoring the list
closely in the next few days, please send comments or problem reports to
mailto:vintagvw-request@listproc.sjsu.edu
