"any" health-related messages they offer "won't" be dismissed Mon Jul 07, 2008 22:38 pm  "any" health-related messages they offer "won't" be dismissed
 

I'd like you to focus on the underlined part in (1).

(1) And making sure that teachers are people that the students respect and like could ensure that any health-related messages they offer won't be dismissed, she added.
(Reuters)

I think (2) and (3) work as a paraphrase of the part in question.

(2) whatever health-related messages they offer won't be dismissed
(3) they won't be dismissed, whatever health-related messages they offer

Do you agree?
Thank you in advance

(3) doesn't work, because it would mean the students themselves would not be dismissed, rather than their messages.
