The original post was html only, thus it was converted to plain text.
The indentation and footnoting of hyperlinks is all done by your
HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND (default = '/usr/bin/lynx -dump
%(filename)s'). I'm not sure what 'carriage returns' are missing, but
if you're referring to the html that renders as double spaces being
renderd single spaced, that's lynx too. If you prefer a double spaced
rendering, you can put

HTML_TO_PLAIN_TEXT_COMMAND = '/usr/bin/links -dump %(filename)s'

in mm_cfg.py to replace lynx with links (verify that you have links and
that is the correct path). The rest of what links does with this is
very similar to what lynx does.

If in the other cases, we are converting utf-8 html to plain text, I
think that explains why we 'lose' the character set. I think there are
definitely problems in this area. It didn't look like that was the
issue from a previous post, but as the messages were incomplete in
that example, I may have misinterpreted what was happening.

If your client would post plain text or even multipart/alternative, we
wouldn't have to convert the html.

See <http://www.expita.com/nomime.html#eudora5> (hopefully it also
applies to Eudora 7.)
