Try http://images.google.ca/imgres?imgurl=gmib.free.fr/viagra.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.google.com/url?q=%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%77%77%77%2E%65%78%70%61%67%65%2E%63%6F%6D%2F%6D%61%6E%67%65%72%33%32

(NOTE: with &amp; replaced with just &)
that works. (although it still uses google's image results page for
the display.)

But just because it ends up at the imgres page doesn't mean we don't
have to worry about it.  This URL:

http://www.google.com/url?q=http://www.google.com/url?q=%68%74%74%70%3A%2F%2F%77%77%77%2E%65%78%70%61%67%65%2E%63%6F%6D%2F%6D%61%6E%67%65%72%33%32

also works -- Google redirects it to the target site
http://www.expage.com/manger32 successfully -- but SpamAssassin doesn't
parse it.
