Dear Josh,
This was not the point. Getting a good solid email religion flamewar
going seemd like such a good idea at the time...

For example, a simple, "hey - here's a link that would make converting
complex HTML documents into text _really_ easy". That would come off so
much better and actually inspire me to make some adjustments. Just a piece
of advice.
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
