Hello Mark, first of all, thank you very much for your help. This looks very promising indeed.

If this handler is called after MimeDel or Scrubber, there should be no more text/html parts left in the message. But then again, I'm not sure about that yet.

If a .txt file without encoding is attached, it is always look if the receiver will be able to read the file. I'd say "gzip it".

After rebuilding the text parts, could we call "decorate" on the message before we attach any other parts? > The basic flow in the process is [very clear explanation cut] I think I'm beginning to like Python.
