Thats what I thought you meant.  What I was actually trying to say was
that the current html stripping option has some drawbacks and that I
would have less hassle about it from users if it only stripped the
offending tags.

I agree that html in emails is not desirable, but whether you or I hate
it is immaterial, we're stuck with it. [ oh yes...  =(   ]
The issue is how walk the fine line of dealing with potential problems
without being a complete BOFH and getting our users backs up (which is
generally not great for job security).
