Package: unrtf
Version: 0.19.3-1.1
Severity: normal

In a horrible rtf document I got via e-mail, I used unrtf to render
html, and then piped that to w3m to display the output in my mailer
(mutt). Here's the first few lines of the html that unrtf generated

Notice the line 
<!--- Drawn Shape (ignored--not implemented yet)<!--- <br>

It looks like it closes and opens comments with the same character
