;;; Commentary:

;; These functions provide a simple way to wash/clean html infected
;; mails.  Definitely do not work in all cases, but some improvement
;; in readability is generally obtained.  Formatting is only done in
;; the buffer, so the next time you enter the article it will be
;; "re-htmlized".
;;
;; The main function is `html2text'.

deletion is done by the function `html2text-remove-tags'.
