Michael,

I use procmail and formail, but I don't know all the flags and options
offhand so it would take me a long time to test and debug to give you an
answer.  procmail is an excellent tool, but in this case you might want to
consider a solution that doesn't require a second exchange with the sender.
"demime" is a Perl program that filters mime.  Among other things, I use it
to filter HTML into text by passing all incoming mailing list messages
through it.  It works great, though one user who sends from Lotus Notes ends
up having all of his text filtered out (haven't looked into why).  I also
use it to convert word processor docs into text before indexing with an
internal search engine.  See http://scifi.squawk.com/demime.html for the
tool.
