8.6.21 Get text or a mailing list archive from a web page

The following will read a web page into a text file. Very useful when copying configurations off the Web.

     $ lynx -dump https://www.remote-site.com/help-info.html >textfile

links and w3m can be used here, too, with slight differences in rendering.

If this is a mailing list archive, use munpack to obtain mime contents from text.
