Oops.  I meant 0D 0A.

How to make a tracker:

 1 select and obtain the complete spam
 2 privatize the header&body content
 3 webparse it & copy the tracking URL
 4 cancel the report & paste the tracker in here


1  ... in the manner described by the SC faq
http://www.spamcop.net/fom-serve/cache/19.html  How do I get my email
program to reveal the full, unmodified email?

2 ... by modestly and unambiguously mungeing any private information you
don't want to expose, such as your name or email address which might
appear anywhere in the header or body.  Avoid excessive or confusing
mungeing.

3 login to the SC webparser, paste in the spam, and click Process Spam
button;  then copy the tracking URL from the top 'Here is your TRACKING
URL' of the appearance
http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z1505491930z5db2559eebcde98291b8e783c95d61cez

4 ... after parsing, the report is 'live' until the cancel button is
used.  After cancelling the tracker disappears;  the munged spam report
should be cancelled because it has been materially changed and because
you don't want to leave a tracker live.
