The samples I have been getting this last month have the image chopped up into many separate jig-saw pieces. I am told that Outlook will kindly stitch it all together to show a single image but my safe email client just shows the separate files. I presume this would complicate analysis even further. What I find strange is that this type of spam represents 99% of the spam I receive (20 or so a day). It seems to be the only spam that manages to regularly get through the Brightmail filter that my ISP uses. If they can't nail the problem then I doubt if there is much to be done here. -- Les Desser (The Reply-to address IS valid) _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/spambayes Check the FAQ before asking: http://spambayes.sf.net/faq.html
