	As you described, is the way it works for me.  For example, I get my "Daily
	Dilbert" cartoon in my inbox each day.  All <img src=...> tags are defanged
	and I dont see the actual cartoon, but HTML declarations that can be
	rendered without the resources of an external web server, such as background
	color, and all text, remain intact.
	
	I assume the reason for this kind of behavior is to eliminate "beacons".  If
	a spammer includes a reference to a resource on his web server, and can
	match up your email address with an entry in his web server logs, then
	you've just confirmed for the spammer that your email address is valid.
	
	By defanging HTML <img src=...> tags, your client wont query his web server
	by simply viewing your mail.

	The HTML::Parser module should it parse the HTML and reconstruct it or pull
	the graphics out of the email and leave you with text. Is this the proper
	operation of module ?  Say for instence a news letter that has html graphs
	in it, well the graphs are stripped out and you only have the text. Is this
	the way it should work ? and if so why ??
	
	Thanks is advance .... Just trying to check on the proper operation of the
	system, any thoughts ??

	                I have modified the original mimedefang-filter and remarked
	out remove_redundent_html_parts in the filter.
	                I can't receive any html mail. I receive the mail and all of
	the HTML is stripped out. Is there an easy fix for this being that I wish to
	receive HTML text.
	              
	                        What can I do to fix this any help would be most
	appreciated. Thanks in advance.
