Another Mail.app rule to catch image spam
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006
A poster on macOSXHints has described a rule 
designed to block the current plague of image-bearing spam.
It’s an improvement, perhaps, on the image spam catching rule I posted three months ago.
Having read the post and the suggestion in the comments, I’ve tweaked my rule for this a bit.
It now looks like this:
Most of the image spam I get contains a GIF file.
I like the idea of setting the colour to a particular colour so that I can see at a glance which messages the rule has moved. It gives a warm fuzzy feeling and it helps me to scan quickly for false positives.
