  • Filtering HTML messages in Mail.app

    I'm trying to come up with a mail filtering rule for Mail.app that will
    let me send to the Junk mailbox all email that's in HTML format and does
    not come from people I know. It looks easy enough, but the obvious, two-
    line rule ("body of the message contains 'HTML'" and "sender is not in
    my address book") is conspicuously failing to have any effect whatsoever...
    Is HTML mail not parsed for filtering like plain text email is?

    Thanks.
