I wish there were a utility to do this to all my mail.  Maybe I need
to set up a LISTSERV with only one member, me, at a new address, and
forward all my mail to the LISTSERV.

Like Douglas, I'm just getting tired of this:

And of V-Cards, and messages which come with the whole body as an
attachment and no message, and all the other stuff with Micro$oft &
co. are imposing on helpless users . . . I have a student who's
sending me files which are, no exaggeration, 2/3 useless HTML code
introduced by Micro$oft Outlook or whatever she's using.  I haven't
got time to figure out how to help her turn it off . . . and maybe,
in fact, she can't.
