Hi all, I'm writing a custom tag, using another existing custom tag (slightly
modified) that sends mime-encoded email, that will, given the contents of an
email as HTML will send a two part mime-encoded message with the first part as
a text representation of the 2nd html part. My reason for this is that a
client
wants to be able to email order receipts back to customers, as HTML, the order
is obviously laid out as a table, I'm not happy with just sending HTML (CFMAIL
with TYPE="HTML") and thus want to convert the html into text in a nice
fashion
so that formatting is retained as much as possible - especially the table.

Anyway, to cut a long story short, I created this tag using an old msdos
program (html2txt, available on simtel) via CFEXECUTE, and it worked
brilliantly (html2txt formats the text really nicely if anybody is looking for
a general html -> text converter). I uploaded the tag and a test harness for
it
to my hosts server, and it didn't work - it was at that point I remembered
that
my hosts NT server won't execute 16bit programs (CFEXECUTE is enabled), only
32
bit.

So does anybody know where I can find a 32bit command line driven html->text
converter, or some other means of converting html->text nicely (CFX tag, COM
object, plain old custom tag...) including table conversion ?

Thanx in advance, 
James Sleeman
