With the new Yahoo! beta, I have been unable to forward as attachment to
SpamCop. However, I can still obtain the full details in the beta, and
copy/past into the SpamCop web submission form. It should be noted that the
original Yahoo! web mail requires that you open the message to forward as
attachment.

In both MS Internet Explorer and Firefox, I can right click on an email in
the Windows Live Hotmail message list, and be presented with a context menu
which allow for "Show source". Unlike Yahoo!, this does not require opening
the email (for some reason, this fails in Opera).

Also, with Windows XP and Windows Vista, one can install the Windows Live
Mail desktop client, and have access to free Windows Live Hotmail accounts
(unlike MS Outlook Express).

>From where I am sitting, SpamCop reporting is still possible with both
(allowing for the fact that only Yahoo! Classic let's you forward email as
an attachment; and that Yahoo! requires that you open the email to get to
the full source).
