Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

The "View As Simple HTML" option is *great*, but unfortunately trims out too
much stuff.  For example, it removes all font, face, and size information, none
of which is possibly harmful.

The inclusion of just these three items would make this feature *much* more
useful, and if it could filter only the harmful items out, that would be even
better.

Perhaps we need another level?  Sorta-Sanitized?

(Oops, I meant:

font face, size, and color information

not:

font, face, and size information

Please consider the above comment corrected in this fashion.)
