Description-en: Strips some unwanted MIME parts out of a MIME message.
This program may be useful as a filter on a mailing list.
.
It strips every unwanted MIME part from a MIME compliant message, warning by
email the original author about this, and outputs a MIME compliant cleaned
message, to be further processed by a mailing list software.
.
You may find it useful if you don't want certain attachments on your mailing
lists, or if you want to allow just the text part from multipart/alternative
messages, and so on. You can easily fine tune the list of allowed MIME types
to suit your particular needs, using normal Perl regexps.
