KMail can't do it - yet. However OpenOffice and StarOffice CAN. Open your HTML document in either, and "Save As" text. Netscrape will also do this, but not reliably. Kmail/OO/StarO/Abiword will all accept a text file and save it as HTML quite acceptably. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Brian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
