Kirk (and others):

 I came up with a primitive but effective way to block these spam viruses in 
Kde's Kmail. This is for a POP accont on dial up.
1) In Settings->configure kmail->network click on the recieving tab and check 
the "Filter messages if they are greater than" box set the size to about 3800 
bytes

2) In Settings->Configure POP Filters set up a filter to delet the unwanted 
messages off your ISP's POP server.

3) The Kmail POP filter can accept regex and there is even a GUI regular 
expression editor. It works reasonably well.
