Spam filters carry rules against text hidden in HTML email. This talk measures how often such rules match benign email today, using newsletter pages that senders themselves published on the web between 2013 and 2026. The technical report and the slides will be placed on this page after the talk.
The abstract and keywords registered with IEICE will appear here once they are public on the IEICE programme page. The programme lists the author's affiliation as registered, BA Cybersecurity.
