It would be a nice feature, but it should happen *the right way*:

	* As an option, either:
		* only when the *main* content-type is text/html or
		  text/xhtml,
		* when sent with mime and containing an HTML attachement, the
		  attachement can be destroyed,
		* all with a text/html content-type is removed or destroyed.
	* And some more options:
		* notify or warn the sender,
		* log it in a special log,
		* if it happens more than x times (x is set by list admin),
		  the sender can be put of the list first and put in a
		  spam filter afterwards
	* What we should consider too: should we just remove the tags
	  or try to do some sort of "html2txt"?

regards,
Gerrit.
