[Spambayes] Spam in Images

[Peter Barker]

I have a lot of messages with gif spam, and am happy to try out any utilities 
etc you have. I am finding many are classified correctly, but many are not, 
so I retrain on them. I use mbox format, so all my spam are in one file, but 
can separate out various messages if required.
