Summary: convert_html_to_plaintext strips text from hotmail

Initial Comment:
Mailman version 2.1.5 installed on FreeBSD at pair
Networks.

I use the web configuration of mailman. It is set up
with convert_html_to_plaintext enabled.

Recent email via Hotmail has been coming in with no
body, even though the original email has text. The text
is present, and although ugly, the code looks average
for HTML mail.

The actual original email content (without headers) is
pasted below. No text is passed through Mailman.

You can see this archive at

and the result in this message:

Any advice is appreciated if this is not a bug.

<P>OK, this is the hotmail
test.<BR>_Glen<BR><BR></P></DIV>&gt;

<DIV></DIV>&gt;OK, the next message from me will come
from hotmail, as a
test.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Well, the thing to do is, now that
we've got a
clue, go back to the
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; original email agent and make a
couple of test
posts, &amp; we'll see
<DIV></DIV>&gt;who
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; gets what now that we know to look
for it.
