    Are you looking to physically strip out the formatting, or would hiding the effects of certain tags be adequate? If it is the latter, you can add inherit!important syling to the lia-message-body class in the CSS:

     

    #lia-body .lia-content .lia-message-body font , strong, b, strike {
	font: inherit !important; font-family: inherit !important; 
	font-weight: inherit !important;
	font-size: inherit !important;
	font-weight: inherit !important;
	text-decoration: inherit !important;
	color: inherit !important;
	}

     Thanks to ChaviBonchev for pointing out this little trick.
