[dev] IMP and html2text filter called from lib/MIME/Viewer/plain.php

I'm noticing horrible load times for messages large plain text attachments 
that have long lines.  I'm displaying them in-line.  The plain viewer 
calls html2text with parselevel set to TEXT_HTML_MICRO.  The regular 
expression to convert the text links to is chewing CPU (> 100s display 
time for a 30 line 400k attachment).

Is there any downside to changing TEXT_HTML_MICRO to TEXT_HTML_NOHTML in 
imp/lib/MIME/Viewer/plain.php ?  Mostly I'm concerned about side-affects 
other than not turning URLs into links in plain-text attachments, which is 
acceptable.

Thanks.
