You could try to take out the very simple and extremely primitive HTML filter code of the MUA i maintain and embed it into nmh. It only uses standard POSIX C interfaces, so it should not be too hard. I do not use anything else for the few HTML things i get, i have never seen it fail. (I have test mails around which count as terror of a pathological maniac. The only one where i can see some garbage is actually from the german computer magazine c't, and it looks like [-- #1.2 1007/75296 text/html, quoted-printable, utf-8 --] 96 Silex: Neue Malware legt schlecht gesicherte Geräte im Internet of Things still -------------------------------------------------- Die Malware Silex kapert mit Default-Credentials IoT-Geräte, um sie lahmzulegen.
