[CW] Most SPAM is html, which was thrown away and now it won't be. (for that reason)

Welcome to the world of HTML-Bill Gates and that wonderful OS we all 
know and love as M$-whatever.

My bogofilter and spam filter dumped the above mentioned emails straight 
to the junk folder. A couple of key presses and they were history.

Think I'll just stay with lowly thought of Linux where such things are 
unknown.

Just so this pertains somehow to CW, 30+ years and I still prefer CW.
