My mail reader is mutt, and most html-only type of email cannot be read.
It also happens that most html mail is spam.

How can I detect if the email is of HTML content type?

i.  Most mail I get from the business community (headhunters,
    prospective clients) is html.
    
ii. I use mutt.  It blasts it through lynx and makes it readable and
    far less annoying.
    

My first post to procmail.  :-)

I've been building up a list of recipes re: Spam and I'd like to ask
if there's a better way?  I usually have recipes like those down below
(one condition), but I'd like to do something like:

:0:
* ^TO_BulkEmail
* ^Subject:.*Attention: Homeowners
* ^Subject:.*The Contrarian
IN.newspam

How do you do this?  Does this work?



Does this one look right?

:0:
* ^TO_\<Undisclosed\.Recipients
IN.newspam

and this one?

:0:
* ^Subject:.*\$[0-9,]*
IN.newspam


Thanks all.
