That would require that sendmail recognize html content. Procmail only
sees the message after sendmail has accepted delivery.

Try this in your local rules:

	:0 HB
	* ^Content-type: text/html
        | formail -A "X-Content-Security: [$HOST] NOTIFY" \
                  -A "X-Content-Security: [$HOST] DISCARD" \
                  -A "X-Content-Security: [$HOST] REPORT: HTML content
not wanted. Please send plain text."
