If you encounter any difficulty fixing "ms html" to something standard, I have a program you might try. It's a very small python program built overtop of the BeautifulSoup python module, which is intended for parsing possibly-very-broken html, and making sense of same. Or alternatively, if you have a sticky .htm you want to translate, you could mail me the URL and I'll try it.
