Thanks, that make more sense. So if it saw a line like: <A h r e f="h t t p://spa mmer.spa m.com">click here for goodies</A>
Imail would see "click here for goodies" to compare against the phrase list and the html tags including the url would be compared against the html filters. Is that also why urls in plain text email spam do not get caught by the url blacklist because there are no html tags?

It also catches upper case tags, lower case or mixed case. If you know of a specific example of when it doesn't catch these email, please post them. Also, it's not entirely true that the phrase list doesn't check HTML emails. What it does is strip out all the HTML tags before checking it against the phrase list. -Sean -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Admin-ML Sent: Wednesday, March 24, 2004 12:04 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [IMail Forum] Phrase list blocking Between the "<a" part and the actual "href=" are line breaks, which IMail does not handle. Thats one of the reasons why I made my own add-on tool (see my mails from 2004-03-22) to check specific things like this, that IMail does not find ;). Same for upper case "<A HREF" tags and the like, IMail just doesn't recognize. It's stupid and I mailed IMail several times in January about this, but so far there is no version that fixes these problems... >-----Urspr�ngliche Nachricht----- >Von: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Im Auftrag von >isp-lists [at] beachcomp.com >Gesendet: Mittwoch, 24.
