And your impression is correct. An upgrade won't help. Scrubber will
remove all text/html parts. The closest you can come is to set

ARCHIVE_HTML_SANITIZER = 2

in mm_cfg.py. This will leave the content of text/html part in the
message, but it will be 'html escaped' and appended to the text/plain
body, so it won't really even be close to what you want.

The whole point of scrubber is to produce a flat text/plain message
because that's the only thing that pipermail can archive.
