Feature request: strip specific HTML tags {Scanned by HJMS}

[Mariano Absatz]

Nick,

this is turning into a FFR (Frequent Feature Request :-) for MailScanner... 
as far as I've seen, there was a very nice functional proposal in 
http://tinyurl.com/nxyp ... that is, now it must be coded... I don't have the 
time right now (and I don't consider myself a nice parser programmer), it is 
possible that Julian is on other tasks... maybe someone else on the list has 
the time and the guts to do it... if it is well done, probably Julian will 
add it... this is the nice thing of open source, if you want it, you can do 
it :-)

Regards.
