_PLEASE_ give serious consideration to loosing the html in email.  Many
on
the lists just send it to /dev/null.

That said, I rather wonder about whoever told you that you can't capture
man ouptut to a file.  "man <foo> > <filename>" will capture the output,
but will have a lot of "_^H" and "^H_" character sequences in the text
file.  You can get rid of these in an editor easily enough.  Another
alternative is to use "man -t <foo>", this will send a postscript
version
of the man output to lp.
