sometimes with mail.app for some reason i'm unable to copy the complete headers, therefore i can't report the spam



i even try pasting them into bbedit but no luck



any suggestions? <img src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" />

    ok, i've been studying this further.



    some spams have a box around the header details, some don't. i think somehow spammers add this to there mail so you can't report them to spamcop. sounds far fetched i know but i can't copy this header for the life of me



    this is the error i get because i can't copy the header details. weird:

    No source IP address found, cannot proceed. Not full header?

    I also experience this sometimes with normal mail.
