   w3m produces great output for things like tables.  For HTML mail that
   I want to keep in plain-text format, I use something like this:

     qp < mail-message | w3m -no-graph -dump -T text/html -cols 75

   "qp" is a perl script I use to handle quoted-printable stuff:

     #!/usr/bin/perl
     #<qp: decode quoted-printable crap from mailing lists.
     use MIME::Decoder;
     $decoder = new MIME::Decoder 'quoted-printable' or die "unsupported";
     $decoder->decode(\*STDIN, \*STDOUT);
     exit(0);
