listgate.js is only for exporting messages (SMB -> list via SMTP).

Messages imported from lists (via SMTP), just use the alias.cfg feature of the
the Synchronet Mail Server. To modify messages received by the mail server, you
can use an "external mail processor" (see ctrl/mailproc.ini and
exec/mailproc_example.js). You could have a mail processor that only acts on
listserv messages and converts HTML->bare ASCII (or Ctrl-A or whatever you
like). In this scenario, you wouldn't use typehtml.js, but rather the
load/html2asc.js library which is used by typehtml.js.
