1. A message filtering system, comprising:

  • a computer-readable storage medium, comprising;

    a pre-rendering component that receives a message containing unrendered text and a non-text element intended to thwart a junk filter by varying the unrendered text, and renders the message in a user-perceivable format;

    a converting component for converting the rendered message into a text-only message, mitigating the affect of the non-text element; and

    a filtering component that filters the text-only message based upon predetermined content related to a degree of visibility of user-perceivable content of the rendered message, the filtering component including a weighting component that adjusts a weighting parameter associated with text of the text-only message to determine if the text should be removed,wherein filtering entails a determination of whether to handle the message as a junk message or a legitimate message.
