Blocking emails with HTML content

[Mike]

Peter,

I had the same thought as you (blocking HTML formatted
email). I can't figure it out either. If you get a
response, PLEASE let me know!!

Thanks!!

Yes Please! I will be watching this post to see if any of you find an answer
to this.
I can block a lot of Spam by filtering selected 'words', but not if it is a
HTML page.
I come in on a Monday morning, and I find on average 250 junk emails!

I have found some add-ons that work for Outlook 2000, but so far, not for
Outlook98.

Hello Slarty, (best wishes from Arthur Dent and Marvin)

for a list of Spam programs and solutions:

Try http://popfile.sourceforge.net/ ...I find it works quite well filtering
out spam, 98.16% accuracy on 1144 emails, so far. and since you're using
Outlook try http://www.vargonsoft.com/Outclass/ for a toolbar front end that
makes it all real easy...

Thanks, Oliver.
The only one that looked OK for me was this one at
http://www.slipstick.com/rules/junkmail.htm
except it only works for Outlook 2000 - I have Outlook98.
My regular Outlook98 Inbox Assistant is good enough for all other SPAMS
except the HTML ones.
I'd like something that will convert HTML to plain text for Outlook98.

"Disruptor OL - Multi-modal anti-spam tool for Outlook 2000. Uses word and
regular expression filters, blacklists, whitelists, real-time blackhole
lists, Bayesian filters, character set filtering. Works with all kinds of
Outlook accounts. Can convert RTF and HTML messages to plain text, remove
external image links, and provide access to files that Outlook security
blocks."
