I have been receiving emails from the same source that comes from a
different person and different email address and a different subject with
each email. Additionally, all the text in the email is presented as a
picture (xxx.jpg). So I cannot make a rule based on email address, name,
subject or body text. I know I could only permit emails from a list of OK
addresses, but that causes other problems. Help.

Look in the message headers to see if there is any common text and, if so,
use a rule that matches that text and tosses the message if it's found.

Thanks for the reply, Brian.

If I double click on the email, then hit view, message headers, it refreshes
the email view, but adds no message header info. So I added message headers
to my view fields and none of the messages show any header info. I ran
spybot and adaware and only got tracking cookies and mrus. My antivirus is
up to date. I did a repair to Outlook, which did nothing . My Outlook is
from Office XP plus Frontpage. Any ideas?

You'll be better off if you get a decent antispam solution.

Right-clicking the message in your Inbox (single click) and choosing
View>Options should show you the headers.
