Spam filters (e.g., Gmail's, the client I use) often ignore attachments. So what the spam I've been getting lately consists of is legitimate text picked up from random sites around the Internet concatenated together. Then all the spammy content is in the GIF, using CAPTCHA-style image processing techniques to make it hard to OCR. Gmail's spam filter sucks at filtering this stuff out. I'm getting several a day in my inbox now.
It is definitely a challenge to filter that kind of spam. In defense of Gmail, I'm pretty pleased that it handles it as well as it does. But there's always room for improvement. If you can come up with something better, then great. Sounds like an interesting challenge for Ruby! -- Larry Gilbert San Diego, CA, USA
