Mail::Message::Convert::HtmlFormatText - Convert HTML into Text

       Convert HTML/XHTML message body objects into plain text bodies using HTML::FormatText.  This package
       requires HTML::TreeBuilder and HTML::FormatText which are not installed by default together with
       Mail::Box.  See also Mail::Message::rebuild() with rule "text_alternative_for_html".

       This module is a small wrapper around HTML::FormatText.

       Extends "DESCRIPTION" in Mail::Message::Convert.

       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this  method  where
           it  should.  This  message means that some other related classes do implement this method however the
           class at hand does not.  Probably you should investigate this and probably inform the author  of  the
           package.
