I am now the proud owner of a vcard-free slrn.  It was a three-line change
in the routine that reads articles (it uses strstr to check the current line
for the string "text/x-vcard".  If found, it stops reading.)  Your mileage 
probably will vary, of course.  And now I'm going to remove Matt from my 
score file, since I found such a nice solution.
