^--- there are open source spam filters that work just fine.

Also, might want to point out that the security of the network is just as compromised if graphic-based spam gets through.

I've seen a few that take advantage of holes in Microsoft's GDI interfaces... not to mention a few that take advantage now of holes in various graphics drivers...

of course my machine is pretty safe, but there's a few people out there with my work e-mail that aren't so lucky considering the spike in activity lately.
