I worked with this code for several hours, trying to make it work.

It didn't encode the other parts (like images).  It didn't set a header 
to indicate that the mail was filtered.

It shouldn't convert HTML if there is a text alternative for the HTML.

And I prefere ISO-8859-1.


I looked at a couple of other alternatives (demime and stripmime) that 
didn't do what I wanted.

Firstly, it should create a text/plain part from HTML if none exist.


Before I continue modifying dumphtml, are there any other alternatives?
Craig, do you have a later version of dumphtml?
