Can we automate some cleansing of this list?, was-Info relating to PKI

["Cary, Kim" <Kim.Cary () PEPPERDINE EDU>]

I got a real boost from this cryptic, er, cryptographic discussion:

Just kidding. I hope no one takes offense, but it was pretty cool,
not being
able to see the 'Info relating to PKI' discussion because of encoding.

Seriously, a lot of stuff on this list is barely readable. While not
related
to the case above, it would be nice to let loose mimedefang or some
other
tamer on this list. Also, reject messages with more quote than
comment. It
really doesn't assist discussion to have to wade through tons of ms-
html, or
scroll through the 5 previous pieces of the thread to get at the
valuable
comments from a list contributor.

Maybe I'm in the minority subscribing in 'digest' mode and reading in
text mode. I'm too busy to take individual messages and as the security
guy, I don't need the risk of having my mail reader interpret messages.
