I think that could be done with KILLFILE. I use KILLFILE and I know it
can look for _any_ text string and kill all messages containing the
string. However, I wouldn't be able to use that trick myself because
I'm subscribed to a mailing list in which a lot of the messages contain
html. I live with that because I can usually read the text above the
part that contains html. If I used KILLFILE on those messages, they'd
all be gone.
On the other hand, I subscribe to alt.comp.virus newsgroup and use
KILLFILE to kill messages that have certain addresses in the header.
Many spam messages containing html can be killed that way by identifying
the sender and including that e-mail address in the .dat file for
KILLFILE. Or, lacking a consistent address, you can kill based on text
such as "CASH" or "$$$" for some messages offering easy ways to earn
money at home. You just have to include enough variants to catch the
ones that offend you. I'm pretty sure you can find something else about
the messages full of html that you could identify for killfile purposes.
