[Mimedefang] Boilerplate Vanished

[Richard Cooper]

Thanks for the reply - and the same goes to Barry for his mail. This is
exactly what I was looking for, especially the bit about HTML::Parser as
I did realise there was a problem with append_boilerplate and HTML but I
just figured I would live with it (HTML mail is not top of _my_ agenda
but working for a technology _and_ design company means that common
sense only goes so far).

Cheers
Ric
