Well, I'll try to go for it next time I have a bad day. So bad it
couldn't possibly be worse anyhow...  ;-)

And thanks, Neil and Tom, for your tips as well. They are a bit more
direct applicable, and I've integrated them in my junk filters. I'll be
interesting to see how they work out.

Re: Feature Request: Ability to filter out HTML mail

Max,

Couldn't you just use a filter with:

Other Field Content-TypeDoes not containplain

Just FYI, I also check:
Other Field Content-TypeContain Windows-1252

...since it seems that a lot of spam has this content type. Of course
some email I want to get is Windows-1252, so I trap for people in my
address book and for specific domains before it checks for the content type.

Thanks for the tip.

But the sourceforge.net was down for maintenance and the second URL took
me to a page with tech stuff way over my head. 

I would really like to (quote) enjoy your soon to be spam free mailbox.
As a musician, my email address has ben publicly exposed on our web site
since 1996, and boy -- do I get junk mail!! But as all agents, fans and
interested concert producers use it, I can't afford to neither take it
away from the web nor cancel it.

I guess I'll just have to stick to SpamFire and what I can do with the PM
filtering...

Re: Feature Request: Ability to filter out HTML mail

2003-03-12 Thread Neil Lee

When creating mail filters in Entourage, there is a nice option: Is HTML. 

This would be very handy in PowerMail as well when setting up junk mail
filters.  

Btw -- is this the right forum for feature requests, or is there another
more proper way for it?

1. Create a new filter, and create a new header called Content-Type.
2. I set mine to contains and then html

So (translating from french interface labels, so this might be different):

[Different Header] Content-Type contains html

I also add in [from] is not in my address book so that I still get
email from family, friends, and clients.

Hope this helps!

Neil
