[Download RAW message or body]

As I see it there are several alternatives:

1.  Use a moderator.  Not a bad solution but slows things down.

2.  Reject all HTML mail.  To me this is acceptable if we send an email back 
to (legitimate) senders saying "resend in plain text".

3.  Use the new SPAM filter mechanism that will be available soon in kmail.  
Of course SPAM filters are never going to be 100% effective, and not everyone 
uses kmail.

4.  Relay the mail through a server with filtering capabilities.  Same 
comment as #3 W.R.T. effectiveness.
