  import re
  text = re.compile('<.*?>')
  message = re.sub(text, '', self.body)

I've been using HTMLParser with good success for the exact same thing: stripping out the HTML tags but keep the data.

from HTMLParser import HTMLParser

class MLStripper(HTMLParser):
    def __init__(self):
        self.reset()
        self.fed = []
    def handle_data(self, d):
        self.fed.append(d)
    def get_data(self):
        return ''.join(self.fed)

def strip_tags(html):
    s = MLStripper()
    s.feed(html)
    return s.get_data()

strip_tags expects a string containing your HTML content.
