[Mimedefang] html file rejected

Hello,

A PHB has decided he wants to attach an HTML file to an email. While I 
don't like it, I do like being paid... So I must accomodate. Nowhere in 
my list of bad extensions are htm or html listed, but when the email is 
scanned, MIMEDefang is stripping the file, and giving this message in 
the email:

  An attachment named www.example.com/blastmail/white0512.htm was 
removed from this document as it constituted a security hazard.  If you 
require this document, please contact the sender and arrange an 
alternate means of receiving it.

I cannot find any reference in my filter to why it's doing this. I even 
have this:

     #remove_redundant_html_parts($entity);

commented out.

Are html & htm extensions hard-coded to be stripped? Is there any way 
around this?

Thanks,

-Loren
