No, images are ignored (image classification is not a simple problem).
Training on the message ought to work, though, since there should be enough
information in the headers to classify the message correctly.  Feel free to
select a misclassified message, choose "Show spam clues for this message"
from the SpamBayes menu, and send the spam clues message on to the list.  We
can explain what it means to you, and outline any problems that it might
indicate, and suggest possible ways to improve classification.

Probably not.
