Yes, it looks like they're genuine messages. Sending html only is
possible although not best practice. It usually arises with webmail
using some versions of MSIE on Windows. I believe you can change the
settings to avoid this.

The text/html rule traps more spam than any other rule by a long way so
I'm leaving it in! Having "spam" in the subject isn't a problem but I
believe some filters add it to flag up probable spam messages.
