And I'm seeing more and more of these messages with the text section crafted
cleverly to try and avoid blocks, and with more and more of them with these
text sections large enough to defeat scanning of the message proper by the
usual battery of content-based tests. I think Kami pointed this out
recently, and I see that this is rapidly getting worse; we're going to need
a new way to approach these, I think.

   I think you are viewing a message that is in multipart mime.  In
   web mail you are viewing the html part of the message.  In Imail
   client you are viewing the text part.  These do not have to be the
   same and frequently the text part will be something like "your
   client doesn't support html messages."  Well crafted messages will
   have a text part of the message customized for those who "see" only
   text and vice versa.
