It appears to be a problem with HTML-Parser not liking some versions of
MSWord HTML. 3.26 is the latest version, which is what I distribute. I'm
not sure there is very much I can immediately do about this unfortunately.
I have just tried it with Office XP and the chatter you give above doesn't
appear in the HTML file at all.
