I'm a mutt user in an Outlook world and have been trying to find a way to clean up Outlook-generated HTML for view in my mutt client. I've mostly been doing this via w3m -dump, but am really looking for a solution to lots of double spaced text. MS encloses everything in <p></p> tags -- so a couple lines of text might be intended to look like: IP Address: 2.2.2.2 Gateway: 2.2.2.1 But ends up getting rendered as: IP Address: 2.2.2.2 Gateway: 2.2.2.1 due to <p></p> tags being around each line instead of the block as a whole and using <br /> where carriage returns are. MS of course includes a stylesheet to set margins to 0 so this looks fine in Outlook, Thunderbird, etc... The --word2000 option for "tidy" helps clean up the cruft, but the para tags still are there. It doesn't appear that w3m honors margin: 0 in the embedded CSS either... Anyone out there know any magic to make this look better in plain text via tidy or some other tool? Thanks! Ray
