=> Yes.  Here's something I wrote back in '04.  I think it should do

That's a really helpful starting point...but it's got a few issues:

	if the text component of the MIME message has a "charset" spec,
		the mhshow command will attempt to provide an environment
		(ie., an Xterm window) what that charset can be displayed...
		so the temp file will not contain the message body

	all the message headers are included as part of the temp
		file. Strictly speaking, I guess this is accurate in a
		reply, in that those characters were in the original message,
		but it's not the expected behavior.


=> what you want.   If someone figures out how to make ~/.mh_profile
=> configure repl to "do the right thing" let me know.  I don't care

I already use a wrapper in front of repl. It's some perl code that sets the 
From, Reply-To, Fcc, and .signature based on the address to which the original
mail was sent. In other words, if the mail was sent to my $WORK address, the 
reply uses my $WORK address, $WORK address and phone number, etc.

I'm using some of the things suggested on this thread to modify my wrapper 
script to do the filtering of MIME messages to text.

=> that much--I just invoke it on demand (maybe once or twice a week.)
=> 
=> Looked at Sylpheed last week.  Bah.  I wonder if EXMH will last 
=> forever?

I don't know Sylpheed....but if you've got to use something other than
[ex|n]mh, you might want to look at CLAWS. It's very GUI, but it works with
the mh folder strucure and single-message-per-file storage. This allows 
multiple clients to reference teh same message store, or makes it possible to 
synchronize messages between clients.

Thanks,
