 Description   

Some email clients seem to insist on sending html-only emails (Thunderbird, Lotus Domino, ...) - so we should probably consider supporting those too.

Here's a possible solution: jtidy+xslt->markdown

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4071370/is-there-a-decent-customisable-html-to-markdown-java-api

Tika is also capable of extracting plain text out of html very easily (arseUtils.getStringContent(part.getInputStream(), TikaConfig.getDefaultConfig(), "text/html");), but we'd loose any markup/formatting.

Given the thousands of other issues we have open that are more highly requested, we won't be able to address this issue in the foreseeable future. Instead we will focus on issues with a higher impact, and more votes.
Thanks for taking the time to raise this issue. As you are no doubt aware this issue has been on our backlog for some time now with very little movement.
I'm going to close this to set expectations so the issue doesn't stay open for years with few updates. If the issue is still relevant please feel free to reopen it or create a new issue.
