I was getting a mail with the following HTML part:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type">
  <title></title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000">
...
Cheers,<br>

<br>
<div class="moz-signature">
<meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type">
<title></title>

eye makes the whole world blind.<br>

</div>
<br>
<br>

This is terribly invalid HTML. <meta> and <title> are only allowed in the <head>
section of HTML. I don't know where it comes from, likely that it's in the
sender's signature HTML file, but it must be stripped by us.
Summary: HTML sigs can add HTML headers in the middle of body (invalid HTML) → HTML signatures can add HTML headers in the middle of body (invalid HTML)
