Thanks for the lynx tip - I didn't know that. I did try it, and IMHO, html2text is slightly more configurable for html->text conversion (which is all it does) and does a better job with tables. I'd prefer something even more configurable & transparent - perl or xsl - but since formatted text (esp. tables) is hard to script, I'm grateful for what others have done. Denis
