Bad advice. That would reject mail that has an html part (i.e. multipart/alternative), which is NOT the same as an html-only mail. Should multipart/alternative have a text/plain part, it should pass (at least that part) through (other spammy-reasons notwithstanding).
Rejecting based on overall non-multipart message content type is better done in the MTA itself. (With sendmail, use a header ruleset. I posted such to this list in the past week [all to sendmail.mc, to answer "tonj"]. If you use a different MTA, then it's up to you to figure out the equivalent.)

You should not hardcode the level in the filter. It is better to use:
if ($hits >= $rej) {
especially in the event that you later adjust your spam threshold in the SpamAssassin configuration file.
