title: Exchangelib Python extracting emails as HTML but I want plain text
body: <p>I am new to getting emails in Python except for using things for ArcGIS. However, I have been assigned a task to continuly look at an email address for an incoming email with a paticular subject and to extract just a few things from that email. I think I can do that pretty easily. However, I am using Exchangelib for Python and when I pull emails, and generate the text I get a whole bunch of HTML code with it. It's on all emails that I pull from Python. Is there a way to use something like BeautifulSoup to do this? If so how?</p>
  
  <pre><code>from exchangelib import DELEGATE, Account, Credentials
  from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
  
  credentials = Credentials(
      username='user.name@company.com', #Microsoft Office 365 requires you to use user.name@domain for username
      password='MyS3cretP@$$w0rd'          #Others requires DOMAIN\User.Name
  )
  account = Account(
      primary_smtp_address='primary.email@company.com',
      credentials=credentials,
      autodiscover=True,
      access_type=DELEGATE
  )
  
  # Print first &lt;number selected&gt; inbox messages in reverse order
  for item in account.inbox.all().order_by('-datetime_received')[:1]:
      print(item.subject, item.body)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am also attaching two images. One of what the email looks like, and the other what python is spitting out. </p>
  
  <p>Again, what I want to learn how to do is to get that where what python is spitting out is to be plain text. </p>
  
  <p><strong>UPDATE:</strong> 
  This was just a test email to show you all the HTML that is being generated with Exchangelib.
  Eventually, emails will look something like this </p>
