Details

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> Charley<br> <br> <div class="moz-signature"> <meta content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="content-type"> <title></title> An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.<br> <i>Mahatma Gandhi</i> </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.
