I understand that the name= filter can catch stuff by accident.  But, it's
catching stuff that doesn't have any html in it.  I look at the message
itself, in the .mbx file, and there is nothing in the message that should be
triggering the rule.

I have changed things a little differently that seems to be working, so far.
Instead of doing the .*\.pif|.*\.bat|etc, I'm making each of those
extensions a different rule.

It gets to be a little carzy, but it seems to be working.

IMail doesn't have rules that can detect whether or not there are
attachments, so you have to write such rules yourself.  However, you have
to be careful (as with any filtering) not to have false positives.  For
example, if you just filter on "NAME =", you will catch lots of HTML E-mail
(not to mention this message, if I hadn't added that space in there), even
though you won't see "NAME =" in the E-mail.

There's an old saying, "Computers don't make mistakes, people do."  How
about showing us the rules that you are using?
