List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: Lynx does a great job. If you open a file with lynx you can then select "p" and save it to a disk file as plain text. The links imbedded in the document are gathered together at the end of the file in a section called "references" with numbers corresponding to the bracketed numbers in the body of the document where they first appear. Also, the suggestion to use the --dump switch does the same thing silently. Just be sure to redirect the output from lynx to your output file.
