[rt-users] De-HTML incoming mail requests

[Sean McKay]

Jesse/Ruslan,

We're messing with trying to just delete any HTML tags -- we don't care if
we catch an occasional greater than or less than sign. On of our programmers
came up with:

The regular expression: 

			s/<.*?>//g; 

And I've put the following into the mailgate.in Perl script after reading
the message in from STDIN:


# Read the message in from STDIN
$args{'message'} = <>;

############################## Change by Sean
$args{'message'} = s/<.*?>//g;
############################## End change by Sean

if ($opts{'extension'}) {
        $args{$opts{'extension'}} = $ENV{'EXTENSION'};
}

The only problem is that this results in an empty ticket created by
RT_System. Any tips on where this should go? Basically the goal is to
eliminate any html tag...

Thanks,
Sean

(RT 3.1 will scrub and display html inline.)
