As someone mentioned already, Outlook 2002 doesn't force you to send HTML messages. (Is HTML the default? It isn't on Outlook 2000). > FROM_AND_TO_SAME_5 1.314 I tried sending myself an HTML message with Outlook 2000, and this is the only one it matched. Was your user using the "Use MS Word as an email editor" feature? I know that produces some ridiculous HTML output. > A couple of these are going to happen with any client > (FROM_AND_TO_SAME_5, SUBJ_MISSING).

Clearly that leads to triggering HTML_70_90. Man, I hope that was using MS Word. Otherwise MS has made Outlook even stupider. > I don't know what triggered SPAM_PHRASE_00_01, probably some strangeness > in all the tag nastiness. Actually SPAM_PHRASE_00_01 means "messages contains no spam phrases." Every message matches one of the SPAM_PHRASE rules, and this is the least spammy one. So this one isn't Outlook's fault. Since this is confusing and since the GA decided that S_P_00_01 should add .78 points to every single nonspam message, I have set the score for this rule to zero on my system. -- Michael Moncur mgm at starlingtech.com http://www.starlingtech.com/ "Every crowd has a silver lining." --Phineas Taylor Barnum ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
