"Banned Content" question

[Julian Field]

    [ The following text is in the "ISO-8859-1" character set. ]

It will disarm those features you told it to. The "disarm HTML" in the
message means it will be trying to disarm the requested bits of the
HTML. If you didn't specify "disarm" then it won't do it, it will only
disarm the bits you told it to.

Hope that answers your question. Given a question "a or b" the answer
cannot easily be "yes" :-)
