http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html - not quite what you want as it renders all
segments as plain text. Basically you want to render as many text type segments in
multipart/mixed or message/rfc822 stuff as you can, but only one of
multipart/alternative. Everything else is likely to be something you care not about,
or actively want to remove. I also delete digital sigs that are sent as mime
sections, vcards, and the rest of the cruft.
Adding these lines to global_taboo_headers
/^content-type:\s.*html/i
/^content-type:\s.*multi/i
/^content-type:\s.*rich/i
/^X-MS-Attachment/i
and these line to global_taboo_body
/How many internet mailing list/i
/^\s+winmail.dat/i
/^begin\s+[0-9]+\s+winmail.dat/i
/^begin\s+[0-7]+\x\S+\s*$/i
will pretty much get rid of uuencoded stuff and the Internet light bulb joke as well.
