Hi,

we made a simple filter to track down mails containing iframes. More an
more, we have to create rules to catch mails with obscured and ugly
formattings, which works quite good. i wouldn't trust if a webmail protects
you against bugs, filtering before the mail arrives the user might be
better.


Freundliche Grüsse
