MHonArc is oriented to converting to HTML, but the code base could accommodate conversion to other formats. A simple approach is to have MHonArc convert the message to HTML then call a program that can dump HTML to text. For example: shell> mhonarc -single message.822 > message.html shell> lynx -force_html -dump message.html > message.txt It would be better if the HTML->text translator can take input from stdin so you can just pipe output from mhonarc to it, but if not, something like the above can be encapsulated in a script. Note, you will probably want to specify a resource file to mhonarc that excludes data that cannot be converted straight to HTML/text (e.g. image/*, video/*, application/*, ...). This will also avoid the creation of files representing attachments. --ewh
