Awesome, thank you.  I encourage you to give it the ability to send
encrypted/signed email in this standards compliant fashon as well.

If we were to start bouncing html emails, I'd want to do so with a very
clear message of why, and extensive directions for as many mailers as
possible on how to switch to plaintext.  And suggestions on other
mailreaders to use incase someone is using a mailer that can't do
plaintext.

I've been using something rather similar for a long time.  I don't remember
where I got it.  It looks like it does basically the same thing, but
handles a few more possibilities.  It has worked beautifully for me.

Procmail recipe to automagically convert non-standards compliant
signed/encrypted email to standards compliant & mutt readable:


:0
* !^Content-Type: message/
* !^Content-Type: multipart/
* !^Content-Type: application/pgp
{
    :0 fBw
    * ^-----BEGIN PGP MESSAGE-----
    * ^-----END PGP MESSAGE-----
    | formail \
        -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=encrypt"

    :0 fBw
    * ^-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
    * ^-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----
    * ^-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
    | formail \
        -i "Content-Type: application/pgp; format=text; x-action=sign"
}

I really strongly disagree with you on that matter.  I think very few
people, on this list anyway, will actually see your html italics or bolds.
They just won't see any of your attempts at highlighting.  And I've become
very comfortable with _underline_ BOLD and *italic*.  And people will
actually see that.  And understand it.
