Oh, sorry. I misread. My above comments were in regards to Alberto's email.

I did get a copy of Robert's email (I was CC'd). It contains the
following content types:

Main content type: multipart/alternative
Two forms of the body text:
 — text/plain
 — text/html

So per the current settings, the main content type is fine, and the
plain text content type is fine. The HTML version is not whitelisted.
So I would expect the HTML version to be stripped away leaving only
the plain text version being sent to the mailing list.

There is actually another setting that is enabled that says if it
receives a multipart/alternative message (as Robert's is), then it
will collapse the message to only the first part (text/plain in
Robert's case).  Further, there is an option (enabled) that will
convert HTML-only messages to plain text.

I don't see Robert's email in the mailing list archives. I haven't
received any bounces about it. And it's not in the moderation queue.
I have no explanation for where it's gone.
