Ugh. Careless on my part. I'll fix it (when I get access to my
development machine again) and release a corrected version. (03)

I've posted sample rc files at: (05)

Sort of. MIMEFILTERS are just Perl code, so you can call one from
another. This is how mhtxtplain.pl works. It looks at the message, and
if it decides it's actually an HTML message, it passes the message to the
HTML filter. (08)
Quickie poll for people on this list who use HTML mail: Why? Is there a
reason, or is it simply the default setting of your MUA? (09)

Not sure exactly what you mean here. Could you clarify? (011)

To bring some sense to the backlink database. I may want to limit a
graphical visualization of the data from the link database to certain
types (for instance, "emailresponse"). Or, when searching a backlink
database, I may want to attach greater weight to links of one type over
another. In the future, this backlink database and the type field in
particular could be used to support IBIS-style linking between documents
(e.g. This document is an Idea for this Issue; this document is a Con of
this Idea; etc.). (013)
