This is one way to convert an HTML-only email to a text-only email. It is a last resort for when no safer and easier solution can be found. WARNING: Converting HTML to text is error prone. You may lose the content of the email. If the email is at all important COPY it to another mail folder and then try the conversion on that copy. NOTE: These instructions assume you have not previously used any mail filters. If you have already used mail filters it's up to you to figure out how to create a new mail filter instead of following these instructions. These instructions convert the default "<unknown>" no-op mail filter to an UnHTML filter. 1. Settings / Configure Filters. 2. At left rename <unknown> to UnHTML. 3. In General tab select filter action "Pipe Through". 4. Copy/paste the following in the white box all on one line. perl -e '$h=1;while(<>){print;if($h&&$_ eq "\n"){$h=0;open(STDOUT,"| lynx -stdin -dump")}}close(STDOUT);' 5. In Advanced tab uncheck all, except check only "Add this filter to the Apply Filter menu" and "Additionally add this filter to the toolbar". 6. OK You should now have a blue gear wheel in your toolbar and the tooltip for it should say "Filter UnHTML". Select the message you want to convert (or for safety a copy of it) and click the blue gear wheel. The message should disappear and then reappear without HTML a few seconds later.
