All

Anyone seeing spam (with bayes poisoning attempts, and talking about the
Shuttle disaster last year etc) with an inline gif image attached, but
the filename being somthing.com or emailaddress.com? The mimetype is gif.

It's getting trapped by the filename trap in MS, but just wondering if
anyone else is getting these?

Neither Sophos nor ClamAV is picking it up as viral.
