parse/strip HTML formatting in rmail

[Joe Corneli]

Hello,

I get mail with stuff like this in it:

     <BR><BR></P></DIV><BR><BR><BR>

Can someone refer me to a package/configuration that would make this
look better?  Perhaps something that would allow toggling between
the HTML view and a plain-text version?

Joe

Thanks!

It works wonders.

You know, I actually looked at that webpage but didn't get any further
than the "Gnus"-- which I don't use so I thought that the hack would
be irrelevant.  That'l teach me to (a) use a graphical webbrowser that
makes it difficult to see what is actually going on; (b) decide
too soon what a hack does.  Or not. 

Anyway, <i>Thanks very much!</i> 

Joe
