It's a header put in by what creates the HTML.  In this case, some Microsoft
product, I'd guess FrontPage or something.  Searching around for a minute on
Google produces things like:

"MSHTML 5.50 is the DLL for HTML editing that comes with Internet Explorer 5.5
(the version number changes with the version of IE installed). This means that
the author created that page with either FrontPage, Visual InterDev, or some
other product (most likely made by Microsoft) that uses IE as its design
view."

Ouch.  Not a good idea imo, but it really depends on what kind of mails you
receive.

Yep.  It's the generator, not necessarily a spam sign.

I have a ton, a majority of hamtraps.

I can send you a bunch of them if you really want, but IMO it's just a bad rule.
