Why don't you create a email account just for his sending photos? Gmail has plenty of email and if you write to me off-list I will send you two invites and you set them up. The anti-spamming going on on Gmail is great and you can then download the Gmail notifier for Firefox and you will know when he sends stuff to you. There are additional filtering there so only stuff from his email address get thru.

I suspect that is "the sleeper" either as a test to see if they can get thru, OR it contains something malicious in it. Makes it difficult for us right now, since My nephew is one of those Coasties ( Coast Guardsmen ) who is dealing w/ the mess in the Gulf .. They have been pulling up between 12 and 20 people a day, and that is just guys assigned to his group. So he keeps sending photos of the devastation , and since his is a windows user ( tho considering getting rid of it..... , another of my "takeovers of MS desktops" projects.) Still, it can make it tough, since these folks sending the types of messages in the OP email. After all, what about an email fro a family member.. w/ an attachment that is jpg, png, gif etc. or even that claims to be an html page they are working on, and want you to look at. I usually send a phone message to ask if he sent a photo.. but that can get "tejus" ( comic variant of tedious, and Expensive .. HE is not in my free group and is not technically in the States at all. So , although my phone can do international I'm betting that Cingular charges up the ying yang for the non Cingular connections.. OTH, one can actually do almost instant message exchanges w/ him when he's flying.. talk about how many "bars do you have?" His phone must have 20! ;-} Still, since he is a windows user at present.. I figure better to check, than click on one message/attachment his phone may be sending w/o him knowing...
