Re: [exim] Filtering MIME Parts

Thanks Peter. I tried altermime but unfortunately this can only remove
attachments, not the multipart/alternative I'd like to remove:

------_=_NextPart_001_01C836FB.CF8C6757
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;
        boundary="----_=_NextPart_002_01C836FB.CF8C6757"

------_=_NextPart_002_01C836FB.CF8C6757
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

=20

------_=_NextPart_002_01C836FB.CF8C6757
Content-Type: text/html;
        charset="US-ASCII"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

Any other ideas?

Hi Patrick,

Take a look at the free *altermime* program, available at
