Mark,

Don't forget that bogofilter is already removing much (if not all) of the 
html from a messages.  A quick test indicates that there's little 
difference in spam score with or without lynx.

Here's a sample test:

f="msg.d/msg.rc.0123.04.txt bogofilter -v < $f ; lynx -dump $f | bogofilter -v
X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.589417, version=0.11.1.6
X-Bogosity: Yes, tests=bogofilter, spamicity=0.583682, version=0.11.1.6

More generally, to test it I'd use:

for f in msg.html* ; do echo $f ; bogofilter -v < $f ; lynx -dump $f | 
bogofilter -v ; done

If you do run tests and find any significant differences, let me know :-)
