NAME
       nohtml - Suppress HTML Attachments In Email

SYNOPSIS
       nohtml.py [-hv]

OPTIONS
       -h     print help information

       -v     print detailed version information.

DESCRIPTION
       'nohtml' is a short Python script intended to be used in a mail alias
       to strip HTML out of inbound messages.  It is most useful when used in
       conjunction with something like the 'majordomo' mailing list manager to
       keep people from posting HTML to mailing lists.

       For example, here are 'Before' and 'After' entries in the sendmail
       'aliases' file which enable this filter to process inbound emails
       before they are delivered to the mailing list:

       Before:

       listname: "|/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper resend -l listname -h hostdomain.com listname-list"

       After:

       listname: "|/local/bin/python /local/bin/nohtml.py |/usr/local/majordomo/wrapper ...

       Notice that, in this context, you must explictly invoke the Python
       interpreter in the alias pipeline.  This is because there is no shell
       interpeter present at the time the alias is invoked, so the usual #!
       shell invocation found in the first line of the script will not work.

OTHER
       You must have a reasonably current version of Python installed.

BUGS AND MISFEATURES
       None known as of this release.
