Two suggestions. The first, to do literally what you want, would be to 
create a small wrapper script (e.g. ~/.html2textwrapper.sh) that runs 
html2text and runs sed (or something similar, like perl) on the output 
to remove those xmlns lines. Second... I've never seen lines like 
that, and I use w3m to render most of my html-based email into text. 
You may find it simpler to simply use something other than html2text.

I suppose it's also possible to get html2text to deal with them by 
asking the html2text developers... I have no experience with the 
program so I don't know if there's a built-in way of dealing with that 
stuff.
