[Mimedefang] Looking for an example of obfuscated HTML

I don't think i've seen spam (snail mail or email) that's not
trying to sell you something, so inevitably there will be a
URI in the email that they cannot split using tables since it
cannot be reconstructed by mail clients to something that can
be clicked on.

Hence my defanger i posted that actually parses the content of
the email for suspect URI's. I've now got it working with RBL
and am having a very good hit rate using it. But that's blatant
advertising and i wouldn't dream of doing that ;-)

No, that was correct, but if you strip out the HTML from "dastardly.html",
you end up with this:

How are you going to filter that?
