Hi Grant,
sure, this is the only .promailrc I have on 300baud.de which is in
my YAMN $HOME:
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin
SHELL=/bin/sh
MAILDIR=$HOME/Maildir
DEFAULT=$MAILDIR/

I want for Iria that incomming mail from a YAMN client's *outfile* for the
Remailer removes all MIME stuff in the message body, so that only the
required '::' in the first line and all content betweenn -----Begin Remailer
Message----- and -----End Remailer Message----- can be processed by Iria.
For my Exit Bob I want that postfix or whatever can do the job strips off
signatures and all following content, so that in case this works a Mailchuck
user can send, via Bitmessage, an outfile from a YAMN client and once the
message is received it is not obvious that the message originated from
Mailchuck.
Regards
Stefan
