If you are quoting the message exactly, it is defective as it does not
have an empty line separating the headers from the body. If there is
in fact an empty line as in

MIME-version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html; format=flowed

<x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0"
charset="iso-8859-1/macintosh"><html>...

Then the content should be in the raw message sent from the list, even
if some MUA doesn't show it.

Just my .02, but I think a better solution is to continue to strip html
and teach your member to post plain text.
