I had a little difficulty getting StripMime to work with setndmail.  It
turns out that aliases like

    foo:  "| prog1 | prog2 | ... | progN"

don't work because sendmail (or smrsh) strips everything through the last
pipe character.  You need to write a little shell script that does the above
piping and make it the target of the alias.

That said, I have no idea if this is the cause of your problems, but it
might be worth one last try before throwing in the towel on the sf patch.
