Sit down and have a little hart-to-heart with your marketing people.
They may want to rethink their methods. Put the images on a web-server
and e-mail links to them.

You can hack your local mail system to not spam-tag those messages
but what about the intended potential customer recipients?
If you're tagging them then that should be an indication that other
people will too.

The world changes, sometimes due to actions of bad people. After 9/11
it became a bad idea to try to send white powder thru snail-mail.
Thanks to image-spammers it's becoming not so good an idea to send
imbedded-image e-mails (particularly if it's a marketing campain ;).
