This is why I use Outlook rather than Outlook Express - you can (at least in the version I have at home) set it to not show images and not show HTML but enable them on an email-by-email basis (in Outlook Express the otpion is global)

With this sort of spam, the content is in am image so filters cannot scan it and the random text is there to avoid pattern based filters (since random text has no pattern).
