Description Lance Haverkamp 2006-08-08 00:34:25 UTC 
Today I got 11 inline PGP encrypted messages, 7 of them were mistaken as spam!!!
This should NEVER happen--spamers are _never_ going to waste time encrypting
messages.  This happens all the time--I am just now reporting it.

All were inline plain text mistaken as html mail.  All attempt to make an
attachment.

Created attachment 3627 [details]
headers of PGP false positives

Several headers detailing which filters were fooled into thinking PGP
encryption was html spam.

Can you attach a full email (w/ full headers) to this ticket?  It's impossible
to debug the issue otherwise.  Thanks.

FWIW: looking at the information provided so far, you have a SARE rule which I
can't comment on since it's a third-party rule.  Several of the mails hit an RBL
which has nothing to do with the message content.

Please disregard.  YahooGroups had taken it upon themselves to change my
personal settings from text to html, without asking.
