Depending on the nature of the messages containing image spam, enabling ocr
may have had no effect.  The obfuscation applied to image spam now (splotchy
backgrounds, multi-colored text, etc) frequently makes the text invisible to
the ocr stuff in 1.1a3.  I've worked on some enhancements (not yet checked
in) and Mark Hammond has some changes to allow gocr as an alternative to
ocrad as the ocr engine.  Both seem to help, but we've not done a release
yet.
