in most cases, it seems to, but the one we got today simply got
'converted' to plain text, it still showed the HTML version, as well as
the full MIME content of the .wav file they attached...  so, the
example i sent didn't get stripped when it was initially posted...

no, because it's not formatting i mean, but full inclusion of the
undesired content in some cases...

although, on a different note, the below troubles me, and i don't know if it's just my email client:

my message was caught in the filters... i only send in plain text,
and i replied to a plain-textifed post in plain text, but somehow the
filters saw a need to strip mine of non-plaintext stuff...

what up with that?
