Eek. I presume the messages are HTML also and will auto-display the
images in some looks-nice-in-the-outhouse-or-IE[1] fashion? Perhaps
it would be useful to have an image-counter test? If an HTML message
arrives with >=n gif/jpeg images it is likely spam.

[1] I was present today while a co-worker tried to fix some HTML
generated by MS Front Page. Ugh! The tables on the page were
superfluous because it used absolute positioning anyways (of
images *and* text). The page looked just fine in IE but was crap
in any other browser. Sheesh.
