Blank body in some HTML messages

I recently upgraded to MS 4.35.11 on FreeBSD and started having problems
with one user who sends HTML messages using Earthlink's Mailbox e-mail
program.  For some of the people he sends messages to the message body is
blank.  This did not occur before performing the upgrade.

All of his HTML messages report the following in the maillog as they are
scanned on the way out.

Jan 11 07:47:15 server6 MailScanner[24311]: Content Checks: Detected and
will disarm HTML message in j0BCl5wg068278
Jan 11 07:47:15 server6 MailScanner[24311]: Uninfected: Delivered 1 messages

I saw a post back in November that reported that disabling the phishing
checks fixed the problem but there seemed to be no solution posted as to how
to get around it with keeping the phishing checks enabled.

When the user switches to plain text everything works fine, but the user
would prefer to use HTML formatted messages.

My Mailscanner.conf file has the following options set for dangerous content
scanning:

Dangerous Content Scanning = yes
Allow Partial Messages = no
Allow External Message Bodies = no
Find Phishing Fraud = yes
Allow IFrame Tags = disarm
Log IFrame Tags = no
Allow Form Tags = disarm
Allow Script Tags = disarm
Allow WebBugs = yes
Allow Object Codebase Tags = disarm
Convert Dangerous HTML To Text = no
Convert HTML To Text = no

Any light that can be shed on the empty e-mail bodies would be appreciated.
