[Spambayes] Image spam

[Tim Stone]

As the Open Source adage goes... you itch, you scratch <wink>  Who 
itches enough to implement this?  IIRC, we had a long discussion about 
this a long time ago, and decided that if enough image spam were being 
misclassified, we might take a look at it this idea.  I don't have 
enough misclassifications to give me an irresistable itch....
