Looks like the html2text upstream didn't consider unescape() to be part
of the public API, and moved it into a class-level function.
https://github.com/aaronsw/html2text/commit/1a25828d556d30cc689c1bc2c...

I see it's also been marked with a "# @@nobody calls this function?"
comment. Aaron: Are you intending to remove it?

Joerg / Lindsey: The attached patch for rss2email should do the trick
for supporting 3.200.

The alternatives are:
* re-adding a top level unescape() function to
  html2text, but that would have to create an HTML2Text object on each
  invocation...
* Moving unscape() (and the functions it calls) back out of the class,
  but then HTML2Text.unicode_snob won't be very useful.
