[PATCH] cvs 2005-09-11: html2text.el::html2text-replace-list updates

[Jari Aalto]

Here is small patch to update the list. I left out the "real" Euro and
Cent signs so that the text would be is as close pure ascii as
possible. Patch is against CVS.

I still doubt that maintaining yet another list of entities is a good
idea...
