Description Matthew Cline 2002-03-27 20:08:26 UTC 
The following rule should detect font size of 3 or larger in HTML mail:

rawbody  BIG_FONT
/<\s*FONT\s[^>]*size\s*=(?:3D)?\s*['\"]?\s*\+?(?:[3456789]|\d{2,})/i
describe BIG_FONT A font size of 3 or larger

Will also add an attachment, to get around formatting problems.

Comment 2 James Henstridge 2002-03-28 00:54:30 UTC 
Isn't font size="3" meant to be the user's prefered font size?  Seems a bit
silly to penalise normal sized text.
Comment 3 Matthew Cline 2002-03-28 01:01:37 UTC 
Hmmm, right, I'd forgotten that there's a difference between size="3" and 
size="+3".  However, size="3" rarely shows up in any of my non-spam, but is
frequent in my spam.  If you want to use the default size, then you don't need
any font tag at all.

Would it be worth adding something to check for <h1>, <h2>, etc?  I do see them
showing up in some spams, sometimes in conjunction with large font sizes, just
to make things _really_ big.

Dan.
