This is either a mistake in the comments, or a directive that has
changed meaning (I suspect the former). Julian, could you confirm...
My understanding of the previous functionality if the "Allow ... Tags"
and "Convert Dangerous HTML to Text" settings for messages containing
dangerous tags...
Allow ... Tags Convert Dangerous actions
Yes No None
Yes Yes Stripped
No Yes or No Blocked
Which makes me think the current behaviour is...
Allow ... Tags Convert Dangerous actions
Yes No None
Yes Yes Stripped
Disarm Yes or No Affected tags disarmed
No Yes or No Blocked
But the new comment is ...
#### BEGIN COMMENT ####
# The following "Convert Dangerous HTML To Text" only applies if set to
# "yes" and if one or more of the above "Allow ... Tags" settings is
"no".
# It does not apply if all those "Allow..." tags are "yes" or "disarm".
#
# If an "Allow ... Tags = no" is triggered by a message, and this
# "Convert Dangerous HTML To Text" is set to "yes", then the HTML
# message will be converted to plain text. This makes the HTML
# harmless, while still allowing your users to see the text content
# of the messages. Note that all graphical content will be removed.
#
#### END COMMENT ####
Which suggests the following behaviour...
Allow ... Tags Convert Dangerous actions
Yes Yes or No None
Disarm Yes or No Affected tags disarmed
No Yes Stripped
No No Blocked or None (not clear?)
Have I completely missed something?
