Sorry.. got dragged into another project, but I have been pecking away 
at the Anomy::HTML implementation within MD..

It is noise and can safely be ignored.  I agree, I don't want to see 
those in my logs either, but, there is little that can be done.  The 
errors are caused when empty MIME parts are passed on to Anomy... Anomy 
does not check to see if the variables are defined at all, and it just 
blindly does the substitution.

Anomy::HTML cleaner does work (and it works well), but, because of the 
way it is implemented, it is not configurable.  Therefore, by default, 
it works at its most restrictive level.
