C'mon -- you're pulling my leg, right?  That's just silly.  The
alternative is to give up on email because 99% of it will eventually
be spam.

Besides, there could be alternate distorted "images" for the disabled:
A distorted braille image could be formed, or a sound could be played
and the person could be asked to identify it.  Or a question could be
asked that an automated program wouldn't be able to easily answer.
