I don't even understand how the following message works (let alone how
to block it).
It simply has a chunk of what looks like encoded binary; and yet,
thunderbird renders it as a stock announcement (as I write this, I
wonder whether the good readers of this list are likely to the ascii
block, or the rendered version? view source for me please). The
header: "Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64" should probably give me a clue.
How do we filter out spam like this? This got 0 hits.
Thanks for your time.
