Two suggestions. The first, to do literally what you want, would be to
create a small wrapper script (e.g. ~/.html2textwrapper.sh) that runs
html2text and runs sed (or something similar, like perl) on the output
to remove those xmlns lines. Second... I've never seen lines like
that, and I use w3m to render most of my html-based email into text.
You may find it simpler to simply use something other than html2text.
I suppose it's also possible to get html2text to deal with them by
asking the html2text developers... I have no experience with the
program so I don't know if there's a built-in way of dealing with that
stuff.
