What a coincidence. I was looking for one myself today. Here's what I found:

http://www.flintmich.com/techtips/ecleaner.htm

Click on the link titled "ECleaner v. 2.02" and save the file to your
hard drive. I scanned it and it's clean of viruses. Besides, this looks
like a reputable site. I installed the download just a little while ago
and my drive came up clean after an AV scan. The program works like a charm.
 
I believe Notetab Lite has that ability. In fact, if you learn a little bit
about its scripting language, you can fine-tune it. I use the Pro version
and I developed a script to strip scripts, iframes, tables, etc while
leaving the good stuff intact. I think the Lite version can do that too.

I use first Web2text, then run the files through ECleaner, works well.

The bestest text editor (NoteTab Light) does that, amongst a million
other things.

HTH.

I'll second Mike Sa's Web2Text suggestion. There are some configuration choices - if you don't need
to change those you can drag and drop files on to the app and it will create a text file with the
same name as the HTML file in the directory the HTML file is in. Can't get much simpler than that. :)

Maybe so, but I often use eCleaner's ability to strip attribution from
third or more generation forwarded jokes.
 
Ok but i will second myself because of the nice shaped
layout of links, wich is far the closed to the original, look :

The one I use is NoteTab Lite. It's a text editor, but it also has
a HTML tag stripper that works very well. It will strip the tags
out of a book-length HTML file in less than a second.
 
Stop Growing Carets!
http://groups.msn.com/HappyHousekee...ssage=123282&LastModified=4675516170686573748
Windows 98/ME/2000/XP Outlook Express 5 and 6
Open Outlook Express, click "Tools" "Options" "Send". Next to "Mail
sending format" click "HTML Settings" and uncheck the box that says
"Indent
messages on reply" then click OK. Next click "Plain text settings" and
uncheck "Indent the original text with > when replying and forwarding"
and
click OK. Now click "Apply" "OK" and close Outlook Express. The next
time
you open it you won't be adding your own carets to the carets that are
already there.

(Note: This is not a tip for removing existing carets. It is a tip for
preventing you from adding more carets every time you reply to an
email.
There are several programs that will remove the carets already there
(not
automatically) and we've covered some of them in our Information Avenue
newsletters. The best way to stop the spread of carets is to stop
spreading
them yourself and to tell you friends how to stop sending carets. If
everyone did this, eventually we'd have no carets!
