does Find Phishing Fraud alone imply disarming?

Hi,
We've really been looking forward to using the phishing detection, but we
don't like to modify message content. I've just recently upgraded to
4.46.2 and assumed that
Find Phishing Fraud = yes
Highlight Phishing Fraud = no
Phishing Modify Subject = yes
would detect phishing attempts and then modify the subject without
disarming the phishing tags. But I see lines like:
Oct 26 14:16:49 smtp2 MailScanner[79047]: Content Checks: Detected and
have disarmed phishing tags in HTML message
in my logs, and my clients report some mangling of the content in affected
messages. Is there a setting I've missed, or is there currently no way to
do phishing detection without disarming? If not, could detection be
separated from disarming in a future release, perhaps with a setting like:
Allow Phishing = yes/no/disarm
similar to the treatment of Scripts/WebBugs/etc.

P.S. We want to avoid disarming (1) because it violates a basic principle
we have of not modifying message bodies except to remove whole viral MIME
parts and (2) because we've found the phishing system to sometimes make
mistakes in putting links back together, for instance shifting the
position of formatting tags around within/around an anchor tag.
