I download messages from POP3 server that should be filtered based on keywords
in html tags in their body, yet they arrive unfiltered in my inbox. If I forward
the messages to myself, they are filtered correctly.
Hard to reproduce, apparently messages have to come directly from the spamer. I
believe messages that are not filtered are primarily those with filter keywords
in the html tags in the body, such as "/remove.htm" or ">Click here". It looks
like a possible html parsing issue. Messages filtered based on the header fields
(to, from, subject, received) seem to be always handled correctly.
The following is an example message that did not get filtered when received from
the spamer, but it is filtered when I forward it to myself. I have a filter
looking for "<!--wam-->", "<!---->", and "/remove.php" in the message body.

resolving as new. This doesn't work. Testing on current CVS, Linux.
I just got a mail with html tags. Some of the text matched a filter criteria,
but filter wasn't applied. (should have sent mail to trash)
