First, let me say – Gmail is great! I love it. I have no idea why they heck people make such a big deal about Yahoo! Email.
That said I have recently been getting some strange spam messages that Gmail’s filter isn’t catching. Turns out I’m not the only one. This tip from Lifehacker tells you how to stop those spam messages that are actually images with text on them. I haven’t tried it yet – but I’m off to set it up now.

Sweet! Thanks Nicole, I’ve had exactly the same problem and I’ve just set up that filter.

I wasn’t able to – when I started setting it up it picked up a bunch of real messages out of my inbox – guess I need a different way to stop these message from coming in.
