I believe the preview is stored in: $view->previewtext and the hook you need is vbcms_article_populate_end.

At least that is how I manipulate the preview in my mods.

The php function strip_tags should remove HTML tags so just make a new plugin on the hook above with this code:

PHP Code:

 $view->previewtext = strip_tags($view->previewtext); 


See if that does it.

Off hand I know my "Word Linker" mod has code on this hook if you want to see a real example.
