It's true! With procmail diverting html-only email to a junk folder,
it is not each end-of-the-week survey that shows anything of interest.
I'm no procmail guru, so others may be able to improve on:
# First "Content-Type:" indicates lack of
:0 HB: # a plaintext alternative. i.e. "HTML only":
* 1^0 ^Content-Type:\/.*
* MATCH ?? html
junk
And if you forget to look in there some weeks, what the heck? :-)
(Of the 2247 advertising spams I've received since February, 1899
