Description Pasi Hirvonen 2004-06-04 05:09:25 UTC 
A rule that would allow you to raise the score in case SpamAssassin finds HTML
comments from the body of the message would be most certainly useful. Why? Often
spammers include the list of random words (to fool the spam filtering) in HTML
comments to prevent it from being displayed in HTML mailreaders.

header HTML_COMMENTS           ALL =~ /<!--.*-->/
describe HTML_COMMENTS         Message contains HTML comments

Or similar might work. Multi-line comments would have to be noted.

Generally speaking, HTML comments are not a spam sign.  Closing as WONTFIX.
