Is the email a multi-part MIME encoded message? If so, it should already have a plain-text portion that's displayed to readers (e.g. using the terminal server) already. That's how HTML-encoded mails like the TLDR newsletter are readable via terminals and there's no HTML conversion needed.

But if you really need/want to do some some conversion of the message body text as you're importing it, an external mail processor (added/configured via mailproc.ini) is how you'd do that:
