Hi Folks,
We are all getting more and more email with the primary body in HTML, as well as the corresponding attachment.
If your MUA allows message editing, it's easy to delete the HTML attachment. However, removing HTML tags from the body requires detailed editing. If I want to keep a copy of a message for future reference, I want to be able to edit it back to good old clean plain text. Manual editing can be very tedious for long messages.
Is there some program one can "pipe" the message into so as to strip out all the HTML cr^H^Hstuff?
I suppose a simple 'awk' script which struck out everything from "<" to the next ">" inclusive would at least achieve that, but it could also inadvertently achieve more than is wanted.
The thought has occurred to me to open the HTML in a browser, and mark&paste to the editor window, but that also is more trouble than I'm happy to go to (though better than nothing).
With thanks for ideas and suggestions, Best wishes to all, Ted.
