Their example for an automatic popup - an IMG tag with the source a
view-source URL - *will* be defanged by the sanitizer if you have
webbug defanging enabled, as would a bgsound or background image tag.

Regular links will not be defanged, but the recipient would have to
actually click on the link to open the file. hey would not open
automatically.
