Given the ways of spammers, I would say yes. I have not seen the code, but I assumed
you were doing something like:

When you see '<!--' in html, set a flag and skip those and and all other characters while the
flag is set and you have not seen a '-->', which would also be skipped and the flag turned off.

That would fix the multiple line problem, no?
