[Zope] strip HTML-Tags

Hi, I hope that somebody has a solution for my problem: I need to strip Html-Tags from a text in ZOPE which I want so send via E-Mail. I pass the text as a variable to a python script which looks like this: import re strip_html_pattern = re.compile(r'<[^>]*>') plaintext = strip_html_pattern.sub('',text) return plaintext But it doesn't work. The script asks for password and username, although it has the "manager"-role. Does anybody know a way that works? Perhaps there is a less difficult way of doing this (I tried to strip the tags in the dtml-document directly, but it didn't work also). Greetings F.
