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.

You can't.
