ImageInfo plug-in and animated GIF images
Hello,
does anybody know when there'll be an update to the ImageInfo plug-in so
that it can detect that new animated images stuff? I keep getting more
of them and none is detected, whereas they have been detected formerly.

No thanks. My point was not to cast doubt on you, simply to point out
how odd it is that the spammers have so quickly moved to animation
in a way not designed to attract more attention, but merely in an
attempt to hide from the STILL ALPHA image scan plug in.
Since maybe 35 people are using the plug-in, the only way to know
about it and try to hide from it would be to surf this list. Its long
been rumored that spammers monitor this list, although so many of
them are so clueless its hard to believe.
And the plug-in already has the technology to defeat this!!

No, static images were detected. I haven't seen it in detail, but today
I noticed that my mailer showed an animation in the picture, but it
wasn't reproducible.

Really? Animated gifs were detected formerly? Then the solution is obvious
simply pull the imageinfo plugin.
I've never seen an animated gif spam, but I suspect the creator of such
is a member of this mailing list, because this stuff is appearing almost
in parallel with the new plugins.
