(if I corresponded with more of the general public of Windows users, I suspect I'd have a much higher percentage of HTML messages which were not spam) Note that the rule matches on "text/html" in message headers. Generally this means these are "HTML only" messages. Most mixed messages have only "multipart/alternative" or "multipart/mixed" in the headers. -- Philip J.
