Not a full solution, but you can limit that kind of spam by not
getting on their list of addresses in the first place. For example,
if you know that the images contain text, that means you are opening
the images ... which means they know someone reads mail sent to that
address. EVERY time they find that out, you can expect another slew
of spam messages; because "confirmed" addresses are worth money to
other spammers. Open each of those, and get another slew for each one
... now you know why some people get hundreds of spam messages/day.
