David is right. I've already seen similar obfuscation where they are taking advantage of adding (or removing) small amounts of data to the image file. The end result is the user sees the image fine but the sha1/md5/check sums are different because places were already doing that.
However, here's a question for all those crazy layout spam's that looks like "hey wanna buy a duck? kJdkfjsakdjfaksjd" and then in plain text end up being like hkyJdkwa... because they are using html to move the letters you shouldn't see. Anyway, sure most of you know what I'm talking about. The point is, anyone know of an HTML to image generator that could then be thrown into Martin's ocr plug-in?
