I guess by the lack of responses to my question its either a newbie one or there needs to be more explaination from me (probably the later). I have found the following table that represents what I am speaking of. Basically, we are seeing html mail that contains zero words, however it has embedded html url's to some website on the Internet. When you look at the source of the email it yields these "numeric or character entities" that are put together to make a sentence or in my case a html url, thus making it difficult to key on. Has anyone see this yet or is this something old. Again, thanks for the aid, I wouldn't push it this hard, but we have gotten numerous of these slipping through. http://www.intuitive.com/coolweb/entities.html

We are starting to see a flood of email that are using character
entities for letters and numbers (maybe a newbie question, please forgive) that
represent HTML hyperlinks to spam websites. For example, the number 9 represented
with the numeric entity of & # 0 5 7 ; (put together no spaces). Has others seen
this, and how are you detecting it. Thanks for the info.
