Hi,
I received a legitimate marketting email from a service I signed up to.
A family member works for that company and asked me to take a look at
the content of the email as he's had problems delivering mail recently
and because I'm an email admin.
It has two parts, a plain text and an XHTML part. The XHTML parts starts:
========================================================================
Content-Type: text/html; charset = "utf-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
<html xml:lang="en">
<head/>
<body>
========================================================================
One of the things spamassassin reported as a problem was:
========================================================================
1.3 HTML_TAG_BALANCE_HEAD BODY: HTML has unbalanced "head" tags
========================================================================
That isn't really correct. <head/> is equivalent to <head></head> and is
properly balanced. The XHTML is being automatically generated using XSLT
and a third party script. There are several obvious short term
workarounds for this case such as:
1.) Output as HTML4 rather than XHTML
2.) Put some tags inside the <head>
However, I still think this should be sorted within SpamAssassin its
self. Opinions?
