I've never had reason to try it, but I've always wondered about embedded images. Images are linked in from external servers (ie. photobucket). So when you view a message with an image does the vBulletin software go and get it, or does it just redirect your PC to it? If it's the latter (which would be my guess) then as soon as you view any message with an image your IP address hits the site hosting the image where it can be tracked as a hit. I would assume that the spam message included an image as part of the post.
