Default HTML only spam

In mail rules there are several "conditions" I can select, then I have
several options, one of which is to not download, or to delete from server.
But HTML ONLY is not one of them.

And about "Read all messages in plain text": There are many legitimate
messages, such as newsletters, that have text but have to be read in HTML
(Komando, for example). But IE6 will not let me open the HTML attachments.
(It used to - don't know what changed.

(I'm using ZoneAlarm firewall and AVG Free edition anti-virus).

There seems to be no option under message rules for blocking email with
no
text. I would like them to not be downloaded from server. Any ideas on
how
to block these?


Tools Options Read checkmark in Read all messages in plain text.


How does that option block the spam? It makes it unreadable, to be sure;
but the spam is still downloaded from the server.
