[PLUG] Graphic spam


I have been getting a lot of spam lately that is very clever at evading 
filters.  The message text is random, so spamassassin and bogofilter can't 
see a pattern.  The actual spam solicitation is contained in a floating 
graphic -- touting the same stock, but binarily (?) different.

I figured the best way to filter it is to find out what is common and create a 
manual filter to catch it.

diff came to mind as to how to find differences in the messages, but is there 
a corollary command for detecting common lines?
