Subject:  Is HTML content filtered by anything, anyone, ISP?
From: RICKYHITES

I know that an HTML email if filtered by it's syntax and errors in code. But I'm wondering if ISPs or any other filter can analyze the actual contect of the images in an HTML email. In other words, if the word "Special" is flagged by ISP/filter XYZ, would it still get flagged if the word "Speccial" was in one of the images?

A.	Thanks AppleMan. Perhaps I should proof read my posts in the future. Sorry for any confusion, but I didn't mean to misspell "Special" the second time. I simply wanted to know if a flagged word would get caught if it was used in an image. Apparently an OCR program does this. Now the question is, do HTML emails go through an OCR program/filter before being sent? Of course it will depend on the recipeints domain as well as the sender. But is it a possibility?

A.	Words in an image can only be extracted by an OCR program. OCR would recognize Speccial as Speccial and Special as Special if it could read and interpret the font used and its size.
