Just curious if anyone has noticed a large increase in spam to their customers in the last while, in particular there seems to be a lot of stuff of asian origin, and a large percentage of them are in unreadable (to us) character sets (chinese, japanese, korean perhaps) with pictures and links to porn sites :-(
Ordinary spam in english text is bad enough, but when there are explicit pictures within the email as well its just not on at all IMHO.
My best protected email account (my work one) is entirely spam free with the exception of these Korean spams. As you note, they very often have explicit pictures. I consistantly get one a day. The odd thing is, I haven't received them to any other account (most of which are fairly heavily spammed) -- Dylan Reeve - dylan(a)wibble.net It's just not cricket. - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
