Possibly because Mozilla isn't written in Perl? Possibly because SA already has its own HTML renderer through which the messages are passed? > and extract the text as the viewer would see. The only way to extract the text as the viewer would see it is to use the renderer of the viewer's mail client [impossible, given that SA generally runs before the message is even delivered], because no two renderers produce the same result in every possible case. In this case <frame><noframes>garbarge</noframes></frame> is not valid HTML and neither SA nor Mozilla nor even the spammer can be sure how any [other] renderer is going to deal with it. It's obviously targeted at a particular renderer [probably IE's as used by OE/Outlook] with the expectation that other renderers will do something different and thereby confuse content scanners. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
