It's true! With procmail diverting html-only email to a junk folder, it is not each end-of-the-week survey that shows anything of interest. I'm no procmail guru, so others may be able to improve on: # First "Content-Type:" indicates lack of :0 HB: # a plaintext alternative. i.e. "HTML only": * 1^0 ^Content-Type:\/.* * MATCH ?? html junk And if you forget to look in there some weeks, what the heck? :-) (Of the 2247 advertising spams I've received since February, 1899 were html.)
