GIFS in Spam

[paul]

Hello All,

Lately I've been receiving a lot of spam that contains no text, but only an
image file of text, usually a .gif file.
I am using Outlook Express 6. How do I block this type of spam?
I also use Norton AntiSpam, which has worked OK up to this point, but it
needs text input for its filters and it does not catch these "images of
text"

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Try posting this in an Outlook Express news group - this is not one of them.
Outlook is a part of Microsoft Office and is what this group supports.
Outlook Express is a part of Internet Explorer and has its own news groups.

You can also find some good Outlook Express information here:
