Not necessarily; Updating the HTML formatted body may not necessarily require 
the formatted body be updated in HTML... it might be updated in plaintext, 
partially negating the purpose of storing HTML in the first place.

The real problem arises with non-readable content like PDF... there's no way 
one can replace those contents with plaintext... and still have it be a PDF.

Kind regards,
