Description SA bug reporter 2003-07-22 14:01:16 UTC 
Outlook (and most other things) thinks a comment is anything starting with 
<!
rather than
<!-- etc

so 
<!s945gdfdaftif0cb39><a 
href="http://www.viagr1adomainsmarketg.biz/optout.php">Click Here to Opt Out<!
1pggcccc9cb8></a>

slips on by.
20_meta_tests.cf:rawbody __OBFUSCATING_COMMENT  /[^\s>]<!--.{0,64}?-->[^\s<]/
becomes
20_meta_tests.cf:rawbody __OBFUSCATING_COMMENT  /[^\s>]<!.{0,64}?.>[^\s<]/

Just wanted to point out that this case is covered by my patch in bug #2211.  It 
doesn't count it as a comment (since according to the HTML spec, it isn't) but 
rather as a "bad tag".
