   I think he's referring to the image spam that changes with each E-mail
message -
http://seclists.org/isn/2006/Nov/0071.html
"Stewart discovered that the image files in the templates are modified
with every e-mail message sent, allowing the spammer to change the width
and height. The image-based spam also includes random pixels at the bottom,
specifically to defeat anti-spam technologies that reject mail based on a
static image. "
