i would be interested to know if anyone has managed to create a
sandboxed HTML renderer, to avoid issues where an incoming HTML email
exploits a bug in w3m/elinks/lynx/whatever to execute code on the local
system.

i am particularly interested in this on FreeBSD -- while FreeBSD has a
very robust sandboxing system (Capsicum), it doesn't really allow
unmodified executables to be run in the sandbox so it doesn't help here.
