+
+;; These functions provide a simple way to wash/clean html infected
+;; mails. Definitely do not work in all cases, but some improvement
+;; in readability is generally obtained. Formatting is only done in
+;; the buffer, so the next time you enter the article it will be
+;; "re-htmlized".
+;;
+;; The main function is `html2text'.
