I have been trying (on-and-off) to come up with a filter to detect HTML mail, also with no success. One of the difficulties that I have run into is that PowerMail (in searches, at least) seems to ignore any characters that are not actually alphabet or numbers. For example: If I try to do a search to detect the </html> tag, the PowerMail search function shows messages with "html", not messages with "</html>" in the body. I _think_ this is also happening in the filters. Another example: In Gregor's note, there are numerous examples of the characters "--". However, if I search for "--" (with or without quotes), I _immediately_ get no hits, whereas a search for "html" finds many notes. It's as if the "--" is interpreted as null input, and the search automatically returns no hits for a null input search.
Or am I missing something on being able to search/filter on these kinds of characters? -- Don V.
