Regex is the way to go, but as an aside - the mere presence of html
tags in a mail message body does not make it an HTML message. It is
perfectly reasonable to send a message containing something like this:
"That HTML tag you're looking for is <span>"
and expect it to NOT be rendered as HTML on the other end but displayed
exactly as you typed it.
Likewise it's legitimate to send a "text/html" message that contains
no HTML elements at all.
When sending HTML mail a program should only set the content-type
to "text/html" if the sender explicitly requests it, not when it
detects HTML elements in the body.
