This, in fact, ain't so. I get, oh, a hundred or hundred and fifty (or
more) spams a day, and they don't usually have attachments. What *is*
common is HTML mail with a link that says one thing... but if you look
at in as plaintext, it actually points to somewhere else. Most folks
receiving that don't look at it as plaintext - a lot probably have
"original HTML" on, and don't see the falsity of the link.
Any half-decent spam filter will treat attachements and core messages
the same ways. ie if it's blocked as attachement, it will be blocked as
message and the reverse is also true.
Yup.
