Not really, but your mail reader will think that.
As Theo wrote (did I correct the attributions correctly?), it simply
changes the Content-Type: header to text/plain. Your mail reader will
see that and think the rest of the message is just plain old text.
The attachments are still there (MIME is an ASCII encoding of stuff
into a single stream) but you'll have to set the Content-Type: header
back to some other "multipart" type if you want your mail reader to
show the attachments as attachments.
Do note that while setting defang_mime will correct the display
problems of the SA report, it will "break" the display of HTML and
other non-plain-text content. That is intentional. (eg klez loading
itself via <iframe> tags will be broken by defang_mime)
Personally I see no need to set that, partly because my mail reader is
sophisticated enough :-).
