Where we got into trouble was with big corporate iron... (IBM, Sun, Microsoft, etc...) The comments in those messages were part of the code base generating the messages and I can imagine (as a web developer also) that they are pretty vital to the developers in their ongoing maintenance efforts. It's not uncommon to see quite a few of them. As we increased the threshold to accommodate the legitimate messages we were capturing we soon reached a level where legitimate and non-legitimate were practically indistinguishable. All I'm saying here is that since HTML email is here to stay, and HTML comments are legitimate and sometimes required for coding standards, a simple count of HTML comments will not be a valid spam test in most cases. This has been our experience - your mileage may/will vary. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
