Too specific.  If it's popular at all, look for more companies
doing the same.  They might even start changing domain names
to evade filtering.

Possibly, convert img src tags so they have to be clicked on
instead of opening inline.  It could raise some "what was that
in your mail" questions that deserve to be asked.
