David,
All good points. However, in defense of the idea, I was posting more of a
starting point to render the HTML into plain text. Obviously there needs to
be something added for MonoSpace and Font Size=0 and white on white at the
very worst.
Unfortunately, I don't think the majority of customers/users are going to
allow the getting rid of HTML emails. Hell, I can hardly stop people from
using that darn hotbar that adds graphics to emails for people
automatically.
Anyway, I think an HTML to Plaintext rendering engine for SpamAssassin prior
to running tests might be a good idea for finding spam. It might also be
useful for MimeDefang especially on the multipart MIME type spams. I think
comparing the plain text to the html "plaintext" would be an interesting
test.
Perhaps someone out there wants to help and we can run it through a few
spam/ham corpuses and see if would be a good test to add?
