Thanks Jeremy, I understand that this may be complex but I don't mind
doing the work if it's possible.  Maybe Exim isn't the right tool to
accomplish this?  I'm looking for suggestions.  Maybe Procmail could be
used to accomplish this after the message is delivered?  Or is it
possible to force the delivery of all received messages to be plain text
even if sent in MIME format?  I've read somewhere in the documentation
that messages can be filtered based on MIME content but my goal is not
to reject messages that have this characteristic.  I just don't want
them to have active links inside the body of the message.

Thanks, Patrick
