Add sender to blocked list. Or you can add just his domain if his address
changes. This is a new spammer trick that's hard to stop. The whole email
body is a gif--a picture of the email.

what version of outlook? are you using outlook 2003's junk filter set on
high? typically the only way to filter this in outlook is by using words in
the header but you'll get better results with less hassle if you use a 3rd
party spam filter.
