Multipart exception isn't needed
Authored by: pbx on Jan 30, '03 01:02:08PM

Because proper multipart mail doesn't have the "text/html" content type, you don't need to create an additional rule for that.

This suggested rule will kill all HTML mail that doesn't have a plaintext counterpart, but leave proper multipart mail alone.

It's good to use this technique in combination with a whitelist, because certain webmail clients (*cough*Hotmail) will send mail with a text/html content-type.

Cant you just click off rendering of html, then even if you open the e-mail, mail wont open any of the images... just a thought.
