html2text

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

html2text is quite nice, but it doesn't strip all HTML files into
something that is readable.  The following patch makes it strip some
"newer" tags that have croped up.  Though, it still doesn't make
things as nice as they could be, tables and comments are still left
intact.

I guess that a better way to do this is to convert all known tags to
something nice, and then just strip all remaining tags that are left.
