Hi,
I'm using Outlook 2007 with POP3 server. Normally when an email with
images arrives I get a message that Outlook has prevented the automatic
download of some pictures from the Internet. All well and good. However
over the past few days some spam seems to be bypassing this.

I've checked the HTML source and the images are coming from the web,
contents of the HTML body below. I've changed the <> for [] in case of
any errors. Why is this happening? Is this some new exploit that the
spammers have found?

The spam image itself is loading from mixresponsibility.com

Problem solved, somehow I had added the email address to my safe
recipients list. Doh!

Not to worry. You still have that other foot that you didn't shoot.
