Has anybody else run into ATTACHed spams that
aren't readable when the attachment is opened? It seems to happen about
90% of the time. Anything with HTML code, it displays the raw code instead
of the web page. Sometimes MIME code is displayed. I'm using OE
6. I don't much care as long as it is spam, but if a false-positive
ATTACHed a legitimate message and the user couldn't read it, that is a
problem. It has happened a couple times. One case was an attached
Excel file on the original message.
The html ATTACHments are generally always readable
in-line in WebMail, why does OE have trouble??

BLARSBL:Setting up a spam trap.
Some spam traps are easier... Another method is to set up the
address,
and then use it to visit some shadey web sites... Then cancel
your
subscriptions (if required). The email will most certainly be added
to
every similar list and will live in perpetuity (based on
my
observations).

| The catch is that you need to get addresses out where
| spammers are
going to
| find them. The two most common ways of doing this are
either
| using the
| address as the return address for postings to
Usenet (which
| requires that
| you post useful messages, but use the
spamtrap return
| address), or adding
| the addresses to web sites
where spammers will find them.
|
| FWIW, we set up several addresses on
websites -- we've had
| hundreds of
| viruses sent to those addresses,
but not a single
spam.
