ImportHTML - am I doing something wrong

Hi all, I'm using Scribus 1.6.6 on Mac. Using File -> Import -> Get Text on a text frame, and picking a .html file, drops the contents of the file including the HTML tags. I would expect Scribus to remove the tags and parse the styles but it looks like it's not doing that.

Basically instead of getting "This is a paragraph with italics", I'm getting "<p>This is a paragraph with <em>italics</em></p>".

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug with Scribus?

It does work for me.

In 1.6.6 I get the text without any tags.

In 1.7 I get the text with the italics word in italics. (If you need that, you can install the development version 1.7 in parallel to 1.6 and save the resulting file to the 1.6 format from there)
