Okay, here's another example -- I just got another spam mail. When I
view the source, part of it is: "img src = "cid:EMMTNIDT"; (no quotes).
So, I set up a rule to permanently delete any mail with "cid:"; (again,
no quotes) in the body. Then I ran the rule on my Inbox where the
mail resides. Result? The mail is still there. Please explain.
