Force tidy to keep numeric character references

I want to know if there's a setting that will prevent it from converting 
a numeric entity into a character? For example, it seems to convert 
"&#109;" (that is, ampersand#109; if that is filtered on this list) to 
"m" and so forth. The -n switch converts named entities into numeric 
entities, but with this option Tidy still converts simple numeric 
entities to their characters, I guess if they're printable characters 
under ascii 128. I've been looking through the docs, and while there are 
lots of configuration and command line options 
<http://tidy.sourceforge.net/docs/quickref.html>, I can't seem to find 
what I'm looking for.  Is this even possible?
