I'm surprised, but I'll defer to real testing!

Only 1 for me for 20000 personal and "commercial" ham mails over the past year -
which was an advert to renew virus scanner support which albeit legitimate was
wholly unsurprisingly classifed as spam if you could see it's content.

Maybe what you say might mean that the regexp should match an onMouseOver option
that also mentions "status". But I'm not sure that's enough. I see some spams
that obfuscate with calling javascript subroutines instead.

But even with just plain matching of onmouseover, it would probably be able to
confer some modest contribution to the score. After all, mails get 0.1 just for
being HTML! Just like many rules that risk FPs. So the goal must surely be low
FP, not 0 FP.

OOI by contrast, an archive of spams over just 5 months resulted in over 200
hits for "onmouseover".

But of course, more usefully, this would give some protection to the gullible.
