Thanks! I tried that, and the first 4 characters are '%PNG'. So I guess that answers my question. That reminds me of the following (it's a reward for you guys) from the 'Schneier on Security' blog: Nick Helm won an award for the funniest joke<http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/08/25/fringe_gag/> at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival: Nick Helm: "I needed a password with eight characters so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves." Note that two other jokes were about security: Tim Vine: "Crime in multi-storey car parks. That is wrong on so many different levels." Andrew Lawrence: "I admire these phone hackers. I think they have a lot of patience. I can't even be bothered to check my OWN voicemails."
