Is there any way to get the rules wizard to check the source of an html
message?
If I could screen out all messages that contained "<IMG" or "<img" that
would get about 75% of my spam.

I think it can be done, but at the possible cost of slowing down Outlook. You'll need to edit the registry (make a backup first!!!!) to add a new DWORD value named SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders to the HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail key. (11.0 = Outlook 2003, 10.0 = Outlook 2002). Set the value of SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders to 1 and restart Outlook. This will cause Outlook to save the entire raw message, not just the headers. I'm pretty sure that you can then use the "header contains" condition to look for <img, since what's stored as the "header" will be the entire raw message body.
