Hi!

I just found a perfectly legitimate E-Mail
which neighter contained Spam-Text nor any html
in my Spambox, hit by two 'ofsucation checks'.

One I had generated with https://sandgnat.com/cmos/cmos.jsp
in response to the ever increasing use of the Word 'curn',
the other checks for 'too long or short html-tags'.

The exact 'strings-in-the-mail' seem to be hard to find,
but the real *problem* is:

  Somebody (correctly) Attaches a *complete* RFC-conforming
  Mail (including Headers) to a nearly empty Mail of 'his own'.

So we get a mail structured like this (mutt display de-personified):

 I   1 <no description>                   [text/plain, 7bit, iso-8859-1, 0K]
 I   2 ... the new subject ...                  [message/rfc822, 8bit, 167K]
 I   3 `-><no description>                       [multipa/mixed, 7bit, 165K]
 I   4   |-><no description>            [text/plain, 8bit, iso-8859-1, 1.3K]
 A   5   |->... title of (win*)word attachment ...  [applica/msword, base64,
 A   6   `->... pdf-filename ...                 [applica/pdf, base64, 129K]

THE HEADERS IN PART 4 (included via part 3)
of course contain 'addresses' of the attachted mail,
so we get some things like:

Adresses:
  From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Message IDs in various Formats (e.g.):
  Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

Received-Headers in arbitrary formats (e.g.):
  Received: by hhhh.ddddd.ddddddddd.de (Exim 4.24)
            from [###.##.###.###] (helo=NNNNNNNN)
            for [EMAIL PROTECTED] with smtp
            id <1AQkrK-024j2F-DC>; Mon, 01 Dec 2003 11:00:50 +0100

As theese '...<whatever_lookr_like_html_tag>...'-'Adresses/IDs'
are the ONLY pairs of '<>', they must have been the trigger for
the HTML rule, and I *assume* that somewhere in in the  base64-code
will be the 'seemingly ofuscated p*rn-word ...

Any chance to fix such an effect without completely disabling
the rules?
