It's a single gif containing the real spam message (gets by the spam
checkers since it's a gif) and a bunch of random garbage words to add some
"content".  Had they been a bit smarter, they would have set the font color
to white so that it would have been invisible.

Ok now what??  How are we gonna fight this technique?
