Convert html to plain text

[Rose, Bobby]

Theo Van Dinter (frequent Spamassassin poster) has some info in a
procmail recipe that calls a perl script that does some html to text
conversion.  Maybe that script can be converted to a perl module for
Mailscanner if it works ok.

>> Why bother if it is spam anyway?

We have a lot of children with email accounts and want a way to have
porn html email to only have the text and no images.  Thanks.
