My thought on this is that there should be an eval test that calculates a ratio of HTML tags to actual (between the tags) content. This would really just be the ratio of the lengths of the raw and "cooked" versions of the body, I think. Are both of those available to an eval test or would it have to scan through the entire raw body?
Ideally this would be on a sliding scale like LINES_OF_YELLING so we could have 2-3 different levels. It might be worthwhile to look at specific tags, counting <img> and <frame> as worse than <b> or <p>. I may see if I can have a go at writing this myself, but I'm no perl wizard. -- michael moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "I have learned to use the word `impossible' with the greatest caution." -- Wernher von Braun > On Thursday 25 Apr 2002 4:34 pm, Sean Harding wrote: > > On Thu Apr 25 at 04:27:26 PM, Matt Sergeant wrote: > > > Who cares?
