Re: Assisting an assassin
The easiest thing to do would be to encode the email in plain text. Sure, he wouldn't be able to do all the bold and colors and big fonts, but also his emails won't be flagged as spam. It's a tradeoff I suppose.
To change this you must go to Tools -> Options -> Mail Format -> Compose in this message format: Plain Text.
Of course, that only gets us part way there. Taking out all the points for HTML stuff, you are still left with the 1.1 for all caps in the subject, 3.5 for "Forged mail pretending to be from MS Outlook" and .6 for "Message looks like Outlook, but isn't" which all still adds up to more than 5.
To get the score below five all your friend must do is not put his subjects in caps. But that still leaves that 4.1 points that I don't understand at all. Hopefully somebody else will be able to take it from there, but at least this way SpamAssassin won't flag the emails as spam.
