I dont think trapping just because a message has redundent test and HTML 
parts is a good test.  Most good mail programs will allow  sending both 
for compatability with plain text mail systems. (IMNSHO all mail should be 
text!!) You're catching anything sent by one of those apps.

I'm working on getting permission from Management to strip redundent HTML 
parts.  If the plain text part of a message like that comes through, the 
most offensive thing in it is the word "uterus".  The only commercial 
content in your example was the image loaded in the HTML part.

Have many of you been successful in convincing management to allow 
stippping redundent HTML parts?
