Hi Bill, If the email contains only images and no text the images are linked to external sources (http://www.domain.com/image.g_i_f ) SPAMCHK gives a certain weight if there are external images.
We've tried to filter mails containing ONLY images (after removing all HTML there should not remain any character) We've found 1 or 2 of 10000. Most of the "only-image-spams" has a short text at the end "if y_ou do not w_ant..." The question is how to distinguish this spam from emails like: "Hi Bill, her you can see the pictures from our family last week on xyz national park ... [pic1] [pic2] ..."
