  I've added a rule for that to SpamAssassin.  

rawbody HTML_COMMENT_INTERUPTUS /<!=/
describe                        attempt to make words unrecognizable

( rawbody form is usually <!=3D )
... and then the score

score HTML_COMMENT_INTERUPTUS        3.0

  Since HTML-only emails already get 3 points, the 
INTERUPTUS rule positively assures the e-mail will go the 
spamfolder at least, and if there are two more points from 
any other attribute, it'll go straight to /dev/null.
