emil[0] is your friend. Once you've installed it, you can use the following
procmail receipes as examples. They mightn't do exactly what you want, but
maybe they point you in the right direction. I've been using them for ages
with success, though they're certainly all but perfect... :-}

[0] the original home page (http://www.uu.se/emil) doesn't work anymore -
you can search for emil-2.1.0 on Google - a quick search brought up
hints to RPMs, Debian packages and *BSD stuff.

Re: [OT - Procmail] Filter UU/XXencode and HTML?
This time, I'm wondering how to convert XX/UU-encoded stuff (which, after what I've noted, can be difficult in MUTT when some broken mailer was there before) into proper MIME attachments. Also, I wonder how in the world shall I make procmail take a (optionally MIME-encoded) message with HTML and turn it into plain text, so I can read the thing? I would just bounce it straight, or delete it. Lusers who send html email should not be encouraged. My personal opinion only, of course. I heard something called emil would do this, but the docs aren't really what I'd call helpful... Hhm. I've played around a bit with emil, but couldn't figure out anything useful. Maybe metamail, or reformime (from the maildrop package), or a combination of those and emil might work. Check out the procmail archive at http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/procmail/ Html conversion was discussed only recently (March) IIRC. For the other question, it could be worth posting to the procmail users list directly. See http://www.procmail.org/.

If you just want to be able to *read* HTML mails, then an entry like this one in your ~/.mailcap file might help: text/html; lynx -force_html '%s' or text/html; mv '%s' '%s'.html links 'file://%s.html' Works for me.

Anyways, since this is way off-topic, I suggest that response, if any, should be directed at me instead of the list. :) Oh - and the webMUTT thing seems interesting. If I have time over, maybe I'll go over the source code with a torch light and melt it down into something webbish. :) /petri
