Image spam

[Chris Yuzik]

My impression is that pretty much anything that arrives with an attached 
GIF these days is image spam. Are you seeing much ham with an attached GIF?

I suppose some people perhaps have their company logo attached to their 
emails, but would it be better if they just had the appropriate code in 
their signature to pull the company logo image from their website?

I would love to do something...anything...to thwart this damned image 
spam. It's tempting to just strip GIF files out of emails, but then the 
spam would likely start to arrive as a JPG or PNG.

Eventually, we might have to go back to the good old days when email was 
plain text only.

Ideas?
