Microsoft announced that Outlook Express 6 is getting a change
in behaviour in the next OS service Pack due out next year. Starting with
SP2, Outlook Express will no longer download external content (by
default). That means a large majority of IMAGE ONLY SPAMS won't work in
Outlook Express and since most spam is crafted for that mail client, looks like
spammers will have to embed their images in the e-mail.
Now if only we could get everyone to apply updates when they
come out ;)
