You can do this already with the "Convert HTML To Text" option.

What good would that do? Just curious.

Have you had a look at Mailwatch for MailScanner? It will put this kind
of information in a MySQL database.

Why not use the auto-thresholds in SpamAssassin itself?

This would be the first time in months that spam is coming through a
common sender or relay. Common sender is close to impossible. Only some
viruses (big at boss.com) are dumb enough to do this. And common relay
would most automatically mean that this relay is an open relay and it
will probably be put into the RBL lists. So why bother?
