  I use PMMail/2000 for OS/2 with an external text editor (TSE for
  OS/2) which displays neither color nor graphics.

  I settle the HTML problem by using a pair of filters which look for
  the complementary HTML tags in the body of the text, and if found,
  do either of two things:

  If it is not in a list message, send the canned reply below
  to the "Reply To" address, transfer the messsage - unread - to the
  Trash folder and delete it there, untouched by human brain.

  If in a list message, transfer the message - unread - to a
  "Trash" subfolder in the Inbox for manual review and/or deletion at
  my convenience.

  If and when PMMail filtration will be able to send a canned message
  to the "From:" address instead of the "Reply To:" address, the
  "Canned-Message-and-Delete" procedure will be used.

  It is wonderful that about 90% of the SPAM that I formerlt received
  is no longer seen.

  The Canned Message that I use is:
    .......
    This is an automated reply to your message sent to the address
    above.

    Your message was automatically deleted - unread - because it
    contained material with HTML (browser format) tags.

    This system accepts only plain text messages.

    System Administrator
    ......

  We send a similar "reject message" when a messsage contains a
  Word document as an attachment (we do not / will not / cannot deal
  with that document format; WordPerfect or text formats welcomed).

  Someone has got to make a stand......
