However one frustration was that no other HTML converters I came across had the ability to deal affectively with HTML s. This module can in a rudimentary sense do so. The aim was to provide facility to take a simple HTML based email template, and to also convert it to text with the

structure intact for inclusion as "multipart/alternative" content. Further, it will preserve both the formatting specified by the

tag's "align" attribute, and will also preserve multiline text inside of a

element provided it is broken using
tags. .SS EXPORT .IX Subsection "EXPORT" None by default. .SH METHODS .IX Header "METHODS" .SS convert .IX Subsection "convert" .SH EXAMPLE .IX Header "EXAMPLE" Given the HTML below ... .PP .Vb 10 \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \& \&
