Actually, it's not because of the HTML.  It's the FORGED_MUA_AOL rule
that's the culprit.  I keep meaning to drop the SpamAssassin guys an
email about this ...

---- Start SpamAssassin results
7.10 points, 5.5 required;
* -0.5 -- Has a valid-looking References header
*  2.9 -- Content type is "TEXT/HTML" in all caps
*  0.6 -- From: ends in numbers
* -0.5 -- Has a In-Reply-To header
* -0.5 -- BODY: Contains what looks like an email attribution
*  1.1 -- BODY: Message is 10% to 20% HTML
*  0.1 -- BODY: HTML included in message
*  0.1 -- Message only has text/html MIME parts
* -0.5 -- Reply with quoted text
*  4.3 -- Forged mail pretending to be from AOL

See that 4.3 score?  Since AOL Communicator is still really new and not
in wide use yet, the SpamAssassin rules haven't been updated to reflect
that AOL Communicator is a valid MUA.

Apply this patch to your SpamAssassin install and it should eliminate
the false positives for AOL Communicator mail:
