Web Bug Protection not catching them all anymore...

Is anyone else having issues with images in some emails (i.e. spam ones) still showing?

I've been getting a lot of emails lately with images that simply aren't getting block irrespective of my Web Bug Protection settings...

Obvious really - they are attaching the image, so it's not really a web bug at all, but irritatingly means that the spam gets through as it doesn't get caught by any keyword filters as the text is all image based...

So you answered yourself. I sometimes see the opposite: attached images sometimes are blocked by web-big protection (this hapens when they are referencesd using "Content-location" rather than "Content-id".)
