Yeah, no kidding! An HTML-encoded message with large fonts, flashy colors and lots of uppercase characters... plus it isn't even valid HTML... (see spamassassin message below) It's pretty hard for me to feel sorry for people, no matter how legitimate the cause, who send out this kind of stuff and find it getting blocked. There are two or three clueless entities (from whom I WANT to hear) who also send me HTML-formatted email... and it gets caught in my spam filter every time... and I just delete it. I keep telling them that if they want me to actually READ their emails they're going to have to send messages that comply with standards... but they still don't "get it." The problem isn't with EFN or SpamAssassin, it's with the Dean campaign. If he's as tech- and Internet-savvy as the press reports say he is, you'd think he would know better. If I was a Dean supporter I'd be mighty upset right now -- not with EFN or spamassassin, but with his campaign workers for sending out this kind of stuff in the first place. Perhaps you can educate them, Marc.
