w3m produces great output for things like tables. For HTML mail that
I want to keep in plain-text format, I use something like this:
qp < mail-message | w3m -no-graph -dump -T text/html -cols 75
"qp" is a perl script I use to handle quoted-printable stuff:
#!/usr/bin/perl
#<qp: decode quoted-printable crap from mailing lists.
use MIME::Decoder;
$decoder = new MIME::Decoder 'quoted-printable' or die "unsupported";
$decoder->decode(\*STDIN, \*STDOUT);
exit(0);
