The fact that most spam messages contain HTML doesn't imply that most HTML messages are spam. You will have many, many false-positives. (I ban HTML mail on this list, whose members are a highly self-selecting group of people who understand (or have strong opinions about) email. Yet on a regular basis, people still run afoul of the HTML filter.) Most of the spam messages I receive contain the letter "e". Perhaps I should ban messages containing "e"? (Gadsby would like that.) More worrying: About 90% of mass murderers eat tomatoes. Next time someone orders a tomato, you'd better back away...
