Peter,

I think you will find that it does. The SP2 version of Outlook Express has 
the option of preventing the download of images in emails (some ISP's give 
this option as well). Since some spammers detect whether you have received 
their spam by whether you have downloaded their images, stopping the images 
prevents them knowing that you have received their spam, and you eventually 
get taken off the spam list as a 'waste of time'.

They'll probably find a way round this eventually, but for now it seems to 
work.
