[coreboot] Friendly reminder: Please just send plain text messages to the list

[Philip Prindeville]

You can do this with Mimedefang (hence the name) in the function remove_redundant_html_parts().

Mimedefang is callable from both Postfix and Sendmail, since they both use the libmilter.

In this case, though, coreboot is hosted on Google so we wouldn’t have that degree of control.
