I originally tried html to epub then noticed the comments here stating the html included in the email was not very good.

Next I tried rtf to epub and noticed a lot of odd characters, mostly at the end of quotations.

My third attempt was rtf to lrf. This produced a satisfactory result. Later I may try to analyze the problem of converting to epub.

By the way I was using Calibre on a Windows XP machine.
