Subject:   how to delete bold from man pages?

I have a FreeBSD box not connected to a printer, but I would like to
print some man pages. If I send the output of a man page to a file and
then attach that file to an email, I can pop the email on a w2k box
and then print the attachment. However: spacing is preserved but the
commands for bold and highlight are not. The bold formatting character
becomes a black box followed by a duplicate character. A highlighted
character becomes _blackboxduplicatecharactercharacter. Needless to
say this is somewhat unreadable.

Is there a way to save the man page without the bold and highlight
affect? Alternatively, is there a w2k/windoze utility that can be used
to strip unwanted characters from a file?

thank you...
