That's probably a good idea in your abundant spare time ;).  More
generally though we've thought about letting users provide filters to
convert attachements (e.g. .odt / .docx / pdf) to text. I'm not sure
about the performance hit, but I guess that would work for html as well.
I guess in principle it should be possible to write GMime filter that
manages the child process.
