Really? I too delete all HTML email using that lovely Entourage rule (only recently have spammers wised up to the fact that plain text mail is more likely to get through). How do you do that stripping of HTML from email that you -do- want to read? It's one of the big reasons I won't move to other mail clients. I -really- like Entourage's comprehensive rule set. Apple Mail is a nice client but doesn't have nearly the same amount of rule criteria. A friend of mine also worked out another clever spam filtering technique to differentiate from 'real' HTML email and spam HTML email. The spam HTML emails hardly ever have a plain-text component, whereas legitimate email clients always have a plain text equivalent of the HTML for recipients who can't read the HTML. Unfortunately I don't -think- the above level of intelligence can be used in a rule in Entourage (though I admit I haven't looked into it very deeply at all - perhaps a custom header filter might work).
