If you could each send me one copy of this spam (I don't find any here
yet), I'd like to look into them to see if I can develop a rule to
catch that table fakery.

Don't know if it'd hit enough spam (yet?) to be worth submitting for
SA distribution, but it'd probably be well worth while for SARE's HTML
rule set.

Thanks.
