.SH 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:

.nf 

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 ... 

.fi

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.

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

.SH BUGS AND MISFEATURES
