Hello, I'm using NET::POP3 to read mail from a POP account. All is working fine, but the format of the messages are in something that doesn't entirely work well for the human reader. Ex: 
<p class=3DMsoNormal><font size=3D3 color=3Dnavy face=3D"Times New =
Roman"><span
style=3D'font-size:12.0pt;color:navy'>This is a personal email asking 
+=
you to join
me in volunteering for this upcoming election.&nbsp; I am planning on
volunteering Monday, November 7th from 3:30 to 8:00 pm. and then on =
Tuesday, election
day, from 9am to 5pm. &nbsp;It would be fun to do this with friends an
+d =
family
and mobilize our community.&nbsp; Instead of complaining, let&#8217;s 
+=
give pitch
in our time and create change.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I want to change this HTML, weird mess (and the weird mark-up with the equals signs before the carriage returns, etc) into plain text. Any suggestions on how this might be accomplished? Thanks for any help!
