Ben,
Search the arslist, I've provided in-dept details on how to convert HTML --> plain text and about 6-8 months ago. I've even posted links of the HTML -> plain-text converter that we use. You would get a lot of details around this from my older posts as we have the exact thing in our system. Regards, Neel Gautam Accenture - Chicago Delivery Centre . Core Values: Stewardship * Best People * Client Value Creation * One Global Network * Respect for the Individual * Integrity Neel, I was trying to figure this out using Remedy, but I think that your suggestion is really the best way to go with this. Thanks for the advice.

There are many HTML --> Plain Text 3rd party tools out there that you can use. Using API calls, you can feed the HTML to these tools using Run Process action and save the result back to Plain Text field for the same record using EmailID/Unique ID.

I've written custom code to take inbound emails and based on the subject line push them to the worklog of whatever ticket needs to be updated. This all works fine and has been in production since we went live. Up until now the majority of updates has come from our Lotus Notes clients. We added a new group of users that are using Inotes that causes the email to come in HTML format. I can easily amend my code to push over the HTML field rather than the plain text bases on whichever is not null, the problem is that the HTML pushes over like this: <FONT face="Default Sans Serif,Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size=2><DIV><BR><DIV>test again<BR><DIV><BR></DIV><FONT color=#990099>-----Remedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: -----<BR><BR></FONT><blockquote style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]<BR>From: Remedy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]><BR>Date: 02/21/2008 03:03PM<BR>Subject: INC000000152336<BR><BR><FONT face="Default Monospace,Courier New,Courier,monospace" size=2>Test email<BR><BR>Email Attachment : <BR><BR></FONT></blockquote><br></DIV></DIV></FONT> Anyone have any suggestions of how to best parse out just the text?
