I had not tried them, no. I have now though, and discovered some
interesting things (interesting to me, at least).

Indeed, b= is short for body=. I had questioned whether it was
possible to search the body for a string in this fashion the other
day or I would have included this in my original filter. Duh! Of
course you can!

I'll send a more modified filter to this list momentarily designed to
specifically filter and kill "Killer HTML" emails.

The answer is: No.

The body is searched, however, filtering of these messages does NOT
crash PMMail/2. Apparently only viewing the messages from within
PMMail crashes the program.
