I'm pretty sure this won't work, at least according to the descriptions on
the configuration page. Humanize-mime strips non-text MIME types, while
humanize-html converts HTML to text (which isn't necessary, since
text/html E-mail also include the text/plain version). Are these
descriptions wrong? In fact the humanize-mime description is already
wrong, it strips non-text/plain MIME types, as it does removed text/html.
If Ecartis is developed further, I would like the humanize-html option to
go away and be replaced by a colon separated list of "Allowed MIME types".
Then the humanize-mime would use this list when set to true. Perhaps you
can forward this as part of a wish list for Ecartis. :-)
