Some other housekeeping issues.

If you want to talk about a spam, it is not appropriate to be pasting
the rendered spambody into a discussion group.  In the first place, we
can't see the 'whole enchilada' which enchilada most importantly
consists of the headers.  The other part of the enchilada in html spam
is the unrendered version.

In the second place, spam or spam headers or spambody don't belong in
discussion groups as you posted.  The proper way to 'communicate' a spam
is by pasting in the tracking URL.

You obtain the tracking URL from the spamparser if you are a reporter
and logged in here http://www.spamcop.net/

You obtain the spam in the appropriate manner, you perform any necessary
privacy mungeing done in a limited an unambiguous way, then parse the
spam and copy the tracking URL from the top of the parse which tracker
looks like

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z1380094295zcb302e8f5b3f40cd00ff4ea503879a10z

and then you cancel the report to 'neutralize' the parse and not leave a
live tracker.

Then you paste the tracker into the discussion group and you don't paste
spam, spamheaders, or spambody into the discussion group.  Anyone can
use that tracker link above to access the entire spam which spamcop's
parser stores.
