I rely on Fuzzy OCR for some messages. I get some with Viagra/Cialis images,
and just garbage text in the message. Other than FuzzyOCR, nothing usually
scores.

Just as a point of reference, I'd like to note that we haven't  
bothered with FuzzyOCR here and absolute none of the spam which  
reaches my inbox is a PNG or JPG or GIF spam.   SA does block it, and  
it does so without FuzzyOCR.

That said, we have jacked the scores for e-mail with images and no  
text and that might be why.   We never, ever receive valid e-mail with  
no text in it.
