GNU Emacs manual in plain text

[Raffaele Ricciardi]

Hi guys,

the GNU Emacs Manual is not available in compressed plain text any
longer.

I am looking for the plain text version because I would like to read
it in Enriched Mode, and highlight passages and add notes.

I have failed to convert the HTML version to plain text with both the
`html2text' Emacs command and two external utilities.  Maybe I could
try with either the Texinfo or the Info version?  If so then how?

Thank you.
