Does anyone know of a way to deal with spam with embedded graphics? I
 cannot use greylisting on a home desktop machine.

Throw them away.  Anyone with a clue can provide a URL instead.
Anyone else (ie., your Mother) can be whitelisted.

You might also look at spamassassin, it can be hooked up to certain mail clients (kmail AFAIK) or be part of a [fetch}get]mail and procmail setup. It provides several rules checking for inline graphics and, on my setup is quite good at getting rid of image spam. Combined with the imageinfo plugin it gets even better. There's also an fuzzyocr plugin that scans the text in the image, if you have the cpu cycles, you might add that too. If you want to be really evil on any embedded graphic, simply increasing the scores on those rules to above your spam level makes sure no imbedded graphics (even the 'good' ones) will end up in you inbox.
