One option is the traditional unix command-line program "lynx", which
has a convenient "-dump" option to, well, dump the text-rendered version
of a url. Some selective copy/paste/trim-ing should result in something
suitable for email, with a minimum of time.
For example, the attached is what I get from running:
lynx -dump http://www.vtsda.org/mailings/vtSDA_Meeting_March_2009.html >
/tmp/lynx-dump.txt
A version of lynx for Windows can be found at
