junk mail comes with gif file

junk mail comes with gif file embedded in mail.......how to filter in outlook?

Add sender to blocked list. Or you can add just his domain if his address
changes. This is a new spammer trick that's hard to stop. The whole email
body is a gif--a picture of the email.

sender is variable each mail-domain too.......exactly......new spammer
trick......outlook does not allow filter by gif unlike other email clients
so, outlook filter no god for this i think.......need better filter

what version of outlook? are you using outlook 2003's junk filter set on
high? typically the only way to filter this in outlook is by using words in
the header but you'll get better results with less hassle if you use a 3rd
party spam filter.
