Well, you yourself said that anyone wanting this ability to be per-user
should submit a feature request here (see
http://<email address hidden>/msg36881.html ). So I
did. If it can be per user for digests, I don't see why not for
nondigests, but you know the limitations of the software.

I already tested the scrub_nondigest option and it was a total disaster.
It didn't do any conversion. All it did was take all the text (along with
any attachments) in the message and remove it, then put a link to where to
find it. Even that didn't work well.

I also tested the Content Filtering to do HTML conversion to plain text
and it was even more of a disaster. I found some instructions that
indicate it is very complex to setup, but my browser crashed so I'll have
to look them up again. I think it might be possible to do HTML conversion
on all the posts but only if my ISP agrees to do some stuff on their end.
And it's not straightforward.

For right now, I would be happy with a bug-free way to do conversions for
the entire list. But I still think a feature where the user can choose
HTML or plain text individual posts is a good thing.
