The problem that I see with lynx, w3m and links is that the -dump
output they produce is not so suited for plain text reading. For one
thing, all normal <P>...</P> paragraph text is indented several
spaces. If you are looking at an HTML message that uses tables to
format things (rather than using tables to tabulate data), you DON'T
want table support when it gets converted to text.

What is this "html2text" program that you are using?
