Public bug reported:

When running html2text on a file with incorrect encoding (e.g. indicated
as us-ascii, but actually UTF-8), it fails with an error message but
returns a successful result code (0).

Actual output:
-----------------
$ html2text test.html; echo $?
Input recoding failed due to invalid input sequence. Unconverted part of text 
follows.
“Test”)
</body>
</html>

0

Expected output: (substitute 1 for any appropriate failure code)
----------------------
$ html2text test.html; echo $?
Input recoding failed due to invalid input sequence. Unconverted part of text 
follows.
“Test”)
</body>
</html>
