The more safety measures for privacy and exploit-suppression the better!

An HTML sanitizer of come kind would be welcome.  Anything that won't 
execute or potentially execute or hand off executable code or redirected 
URLS would be great.

I *hate* HTML because it makes it much easier, on Windows, to trick 
users or disguise malicious mail.  It also makes it easier for most 
users to put in pointless dancing smileys and other things that sends me 
into synaptic spasms resembling a stroke when HTML isn't "cleaned up" a bit.

I'm starting to sound like such a curmudgeon.  Maybe I've been doing 
this too long.
