Josh Renaud (Kirkman) has a python script that may do what you want.  It's
called:

mail-to-plaintext.py

Contact him and ask.  I have it here but I'm not sure if he wants it
distrubuted by any one other than himself.  I know he has a github account
under Kirkman.


 TL> Thanks for any assistance.

Welcome...
