Folks,

Those of you who don't use ancient mail readers like mine that
show the entire content of the message may not be aware that spam
filters are increasingly using HTML content as a spam signature.
Here's part of the header from a message sent to the ubl-eslsc
list:

| X-Spam-Status: Yes, hits=7.9 required=7.0
| 	tests=FORGED_MUA_OUTLOOK,HTML_40_50,HTML_MESSAGE,
| 	      MISSING_OUTLOOK_NAME,MSG_ID_ADDED_BY_MTA_3
| 	version=2.55
| X-Spam-Level: *******
| X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 2.55 (1.174.2.19-2003-05-19-exp)
| X-Spam-Report: This mail is probably spam.  The original message
|    has been attached along with this report, so you can recognize
|    or block similar unwanted mail in future.  See
|    http://spamassassin.org/tag/ for more details.

If you want to make sure your messages get through, turn off the
setting in your mailer that creates the redundant HTML version.
