Jeff-
You might also want to see if you copy the message out of a client
application like Thunderbird and then copy the image to your server and
running giftopnm on it. It might be that uudeview is the problem and
not giftopnm. The errors sounds like a corrupt gif image. This should
not effect the plugin however.
I would suggest turning on debugging output on Spamassassin to see where
in the plugin the problem is occurring. Use the facility 'ocrtext' to
and grep your logs for 'ocrtext'. Should give you some info.
If you running spamd try: --debug=ocrtext
-D, --debug[=areas] Print debugging messages (for areas)
Hope this helps.
