Do you *REALLY* want to do that? If so then I would suggest that you
either disable MD completely or, perhaps, use sendmail's friend and
hater access options to selectively bypass scanning for those who are
willing to take the risk of virii but also the risk of going over quota
(Yes, you should have quotas for all users) with the bloated html
messages. 

It seems you have exactly the correct setup now and can't see why you
would want to change unless this is the brainchild of you PHB, in which
case, find another place to work and quickly.
