I have little desire to put in work to deal with
malformed HTML. It could become a never-ending
battle with trying to deal with the latest abuse
that arises.

Garbage in, garbage out.

Since it appears your need to deal with this
problem is no longer urgent, I'm included to close
this item. It can always be re-opened or re-submitted
if needs change.

We don't bother with HTML mail any more when there's any choice in the matter, so not so important to us.

As mentioned in bug #15415, broken HTML mail from YahooGroups (and by broken I mean really broken, e.g. two <head> sections) gets swallowed up by mhonarc.

I have little sympathy for broken HTML mail, but maybe it is a good idea to run the equivalent of 'tidy' over any HTML mail. That way the disgusting ivalid mess doesn't worm its way onto the web. Consdier it a defensive measure.

What do you think?
