FWIW, the most recent version of this that I got was on Dec 9, and the
attachment was an embedded type named "22.jpg".

It wound up containing a link to their site in it's limited text, and the URIBLs
tore it to bits. Also bth hash-systems I use (razor and DCC) nailed it, and it
was a SPF forgery.

And one before that from Dec 7, it's file was "mute30.gif"

Body hash systems like Razor's e4 and DCC both really help a lot against
embedded/attached image spams. In both of these emails the DCC/Razor combined
(plus DIGEST_MULTIPLE) resulted in 6.27 points. And that's with me trimming down
the DCC_CHECK score to 1.5 from 2.17. In a stock SA 3.1.0 config the combined
hits from these two would have been over 7 points.
