I've been /very/ happy with its "strip HTML" mode, which strips= =20 out all the tags and just shows the text. With a few white-listed=20 exceptions, all HTML /mail/ ends up in the trash, but I use a different=20 instance of it (by setting $HOME and $TMPDIR in a wrapper script so it=20 doesn't conflict with my mail instance) with the feed-plugin for my RSS/ ATOM feeds, which of course are XML, and it strips all that junk out very= =20 nicely, leaving attachements as just that, attachments.
