Hi Roger,
I tried it on the html file provided by you:
sgmlreader mail.html mail.xhtml
The output file: mail.xhtml does contain the xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" namespace declaration. here is the complete output:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="us-ascii"?><html xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml" xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40"> <head> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=us-ascii" /> <meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 15 (filtered medium)" /> <style><!-- /* Font Definitions */ @font-face {font-family:"Cambria Math"; panose-1:2 4 5 3 5 4 6 3 2 4;} @font-face {font-family:Calibri; panose-1:2 15 5 2 2 2 4 3 2 4;} /* Style Definitions */ p.MsoNormal, li.MsoNormal, div.MsoNormal {margin:0in; margin-bottom:.0001pt; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} a:link, span.MsoHyperlink {mso-style-priority:99; color:#0563C1; text-decoration:underline;} a:visited, span.MsoHyperlinkFollowed {mso-style-priority:99; color:#954F72; text-decoration:underline;} span.EmailStyle17 {mso-style-type:personal-compose; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif; color:windowtext;} .MsoChpDefault {mso-style-type:export-only; font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;} @page WordSection1 {size:8.5in 11.0in; margin:1.0in 1.0in 1.0in 1.0in;} div.WordSection1 {page:WordSection1;} --></style><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapedefaults v:ext="edit" spidmax="1026" /> </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> <o:shapelayout v:ext="edit"> <o:idmap v:ext="edit" data="" /> </o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]--></head><body lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div class="WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal">Hello, world<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>

Hi Folks,
At the bottom of this message I show HTML that was produced by an Outlook email message (a “Hello, world” email message). The HTML has some interesting features. For example, it has a comment containing namespace-qualified elements and
attributes:
<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml>
<o:shapelayout
v:ext="edit">
<o:idmap
v:ext="edit"
data="" />
</o:shapelayout></xml><![endif]-->
The v namespace prefix is used only in that comment and nowhere else. I have tried a couple tools that convert HTML to XHTML and apparently they don’t look inside the comment because they remove the namespace declaration:
<html
xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml"
xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word"
xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/2004/12/omml"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">
I want to import the XHTML back into Outlook, but unfortunately after removing namespace declarations the XHTML is not valid as far as Outlook is concerned.
Is there a tool that can convert the HTML generated by Outlook to XHTML, such that the XHTML can be reimported into Outlook?
If no such tool exists, I will create my own tool. Would XSLT be suitable for such a task? /Roger
