Some of us still use pine/emacs - and like its features
[roles/filters]..

And pine can grab the text out of html mails - and display it. The
most annoying part is when folks send html mail and use a different
'font/color' to differenciate the original text with the reply
(instead of using the normal '> ' to mark the original quoted
text). Now I have to struggle to figure out which text is the 'quoted'
part and which one is the 'reply' part.
