[Mimedefang] HTML stripped from email

[Cormack, Ken]

Try commenting out the following lines in mimedefang-filter, to disable HTML
defanging (such as the deactivation of "img src=" tags.

    # Clean up HTML if Anomy::HTMLCleaner is installed.
#    if ($Features{"HTMLCleaner"}) {
#       if ($type eq "text/html" || $type eq "text/plain") {
#           return anomy_clean_html($entity);
#       }
#    }

I'm having a similar problem and I'm still unclear how to completely disable
HTML defanging in a message.  I have set 'defang_mime 0' in
/etc/mail/spamassassin/sa-mimedefang.cf (for mimedefang) and
/usr/share/spamassassin/10_misc.cf report_safe 0.  What am I missing to
completely disable HTML defanging?

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.
