           Summary: EXTRA_MPART_TYPE fires on valid multipart/related
           Product: Spamassassin
           Version: 3.1.5
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P5
         Component: Rules
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


EXTRA_MPART_TYPE matches on Content-Type headers which also have a type=  
parameter.  However RFC 2387 specifies that "multipart/related" MUST have a  
type parameter giving the MIME type of the root body part.  
  
Around 10% of my hits on this rule are for Content-Type=multipart/related with  
a type parameter, such as:  
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="text/html"; boundary="..."  
or  
Content-Type: multipart/related; type="multipart/alternative";  
  
In particular, M$ Exchange sometimes seems to make use of this format for  
including background images.  Much though I detest them, I'd prefer they 
didn't contribute to a spam score !
