[Spambayes] Unwanted stock solicitations

I do know, from looking inside the email, that these use an imbedded image
and a whole bunch of garbage text below the image that changes with every
message.  SpamBayes does not look at imbedded images so each message gets a
more ham than spam weight and is not picked up.  I would venture to say
these messages were designed to defeat SpamBayes...

Subject: [Spambayes] Unwanted stock solicitations


Hi,
 
I've been getting lots of supposed scoops on cheap stocks (19 cents) which
are supposed to skyrocket tomorrow. Spambayes had not been able to filter
these out although it has done wonders with Viagra, cheap drugs, etc. So I
decided to reconfigure the software by accumlating hundreds of Emails with
this cheap stock junk included. After retraining, it has still not been able
to detect the junk stock emails. Any suggestions?
 
Thank you,
