I recently bought something online and paid using Google Checkout. I
selected the option to have Google give the vendor an anonymized email
address for them to contact me rather than email me directly. The order
confirmation from the vendor was an FP because it was it was HTML only,
didn't have an opening <html> tag and the Google Checkout logo image
ended up being a high percentage of the space of the message.

It occurs to me that such Google Checkout anonymized mail is a good
candidate for a negative score rule if one could be done without danger
of it being spoofed by spammers. Such mail is only sent from a business
that you have already purchased from and each one has a link that lets
you disable the unique address.

I only have the one example of such mail so I wonder if anyone with more
experience with Google Checkout could suggest characteristics of the
anonymized emails that a rule could look for.
