Anyway, ideas and general strategies will be gleenable from the above URL,
personally, I'd like to see a system filter that just banned HTML body
parts.
[KPS] One approach I was thinking of was to look for the <html> and </html>
and strip out everything enclosed in <> pairs - sort of a HTML to Text
converter - ( hmm I bet there is such a beast in perl out there?? )
I also thought about a deal that would post the html message part to a
temporary web page - put the url to that page in place of the HTML - that
way if the subject or other content gives it away as spam it will never get
viewed, yet the content is viewable with just a click.
Cheers,
