Fwd: [Esd-l] Stripping Attachments?

[Mark Wendt]

Paul,

         Check also in the html-trap.procmail file.  There is a section for 
MANGLE_EXECUTABLES.   If you're using one of the latest versions, you 
shouldn't need to also put this in your procamilrc file.  That's why the 
.rtf files probably are still being stripped.  So procmail is seeing the 
MANGLE_EXTENSIONS twice, and is using the last seen, which still includes 
the .rtf extension.  If you list .html in your STRIPPED_EXECUTABLES file, 
it will strip .html attachments from the emails.
