Is there any rules available for catching messages that use the unicode
right to left override in HTML to reverse text (sample attached)?
For instance 'H&#8236;olle&#8238; W#8236;dlro&#8238;' would render as
'Hello World'

I've seen a couple of these sneak thru recently. I don't want to create
a rule to just look for &#8236; and &#8236; as I'm not sure what the FP
rate would be like. Is there legitmate reasons for using these tags?

I've never seen that construct, but I have my mail client always set to 
show me the text/plain alternative if it's available.
