This filter doesn't catch *everything*, but for the last 6 years 
or so, it has had zero false positives for me while subscribed to 
limitless numbers of mailing lists.

:0:
* ^Content-Type:.*text/html
HTML

I go through the HTML folder occasionally, and all of the stuff 
is junk spam.  There may be the opportunity for false positives, 
but in practice over the years, I've yet to see any with my mail 
load.  Different people's mail usage may vary however...

Hope this helps.
