if you can drop the email somewhere I can pick it up (ftp or http site
and save the email as a .txt with ALL the header info), I can run it on
my 3.02 system which also has lots of the SARE and other rules as extras.

If the html has the pictures embedded within the message (rather than a
call to a URL to get them) then the URL-RBL (spamcop plugin for subl.org
URI-RBL's) won't help much.

Anyway if you can let me have the mesg I can advise better,
