Hey, I don't think so.  I fetched it with wget and groveled through
it, that's where I found meaningful text.  It was a family Christmas
"newsletter"  and is gone so I can't look again.

Used perl regexps to remove markup, scripts, style blocks, other penc
and got nothing left, went groveling with a text editor.

Just so.

Dunno.  IIRC, SWMBO's Windoes browser rendered it but maybe not -- I
forget.  I have no idea what the concept of doing it that way might be
or what the rational for rendering it is.
