Yes, no, maybe, don't care?

Subject: [SAtalk] Does SA do this check:

Some friends and I have noticed that some spam messages arrive with 
multipart/alternative messages whose different multiparts don't match 
(they're supposed to be the same data in different formats, like txt vs 
html).  In particular, the txt segments seem to be gibberish and the 
html segments seem to be the ad.

It seems like a test could be done where you convert the non-txt 
formats to txt, remove whitespace, and then compare the 
multipart/alternative segments to see if they're mostly the same.  If 
they differ by more than a certain percentage, then you flag them for a 
certain number of points of score (perhaps different percentage 
thresholds yielding different scores).

Does SA do anything about the general issue (scoring for multipart 
segments that don't match)?

If so, does SA do it the way I describe, or a different way? (and if 
different, what does SA do?)
