23 ;;; Commentary:
25 ;; These functions provide a simple way to wash/clean html infected
26 ;; mails. Definitely do not work in all cases, but some improvement
27 ;; in readability is generally obtained. Formatting is only done in
28 ;; the buffer, so the next time you enter the article it will be
29 ;; "re-htmlized".
31 ;; The main function is `html2text'.
33 ;; This package was obsoleted by shr.el.
