Description cice 2003-01-25 09:55:46 UTC 
As soon as I get another one, I'll submit someplace/somehow.  The mail message
itself appears to make it thru spamassassin unmolested.

The trick appears to lie in making the body entirely from a single or multiple
gif images, presumably with a text/multipart mime setup in which the plaintext
is innocuous enough, but the html representation contains nothing but img src
tags which fetch spam images.

Of course, a simple solution would be to not use an html enabled mail
reader...but, I like mine.  (netscape7) :)  Will append message source next I
get one.

This should be caught by rules already in 2.50.

closing as wontfix since it's already fixed. :)
