HTML To Text tends to cause some weird loop..??

[Dj Tremors]

Firstly, Is it normal for MailScanner logs to appear every 5-10 seconds as
below??

What my main problem is that if I turn on HTMl To Text in MailScanner.conf
as below and I receive either spam or something that's got HTML in it,
MailScanner seems to forever get into a loop.. as further below:

Convert HTML To Text = yes

causes (sorry for >80 columns or large email)...

But if I turn the HTML conversion off, it seems to work fine but doesn't
catch HTML spam.. or whatever that possibly benefits from it..


any ideas? Oh, I also use ClamAV if that could be a possibility...
