An AppleScript to forward spam to the FTC via Mail
I'm not sure how to do this.. however, wouldn't it be useful to send the message with the full headers?
forwarding with full headers
Yep, it's best to forward with full headers when reporting spam. I still haven't found a satisfying way to do that with Apple Mail ...

forwarding with full headers (results changed!)
Hmm ... I started experimenting with combining the scripts and had a pretty good version going. At one point I reran the original script at the top of this thread. Suddenly it, too, copied the raw source. I don't understand why it works now when it didn't work earlier.

Thanks for investigating and figuring out this much.

I'm sure there's some way to automatically encapsulate them as attachments instead.
That would be preferable. Thanks for checking with the developer. Meantime, to clarify my results, the original script above does indeed include full raw content of the spam mail (including original headers) within the body of the message forwarded to the FTC, with no manual intervention on my part. (I don't have to manually choose to display raw format.) I don't know why my first test of the script didn't do that, but it has worked properly since, as is.
Found an AppleScript to forward as attachments
I just came across a method to forward mail as attachments, over on the SpamCop forums: <http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=7886>
It creates files from the spam messages, then attaches those files to a new outgoing message. I imagine some sharp people here can build on this to customize the solution, and maybe offer suggestions to improve it.

It appears that the full headers are automatically sent with the original script. The full headers are included in the "content" section of the email.

I just noticed robg's footnote to your original hint says "though I had to first hit Command-Option-U to display the raw source". I wonder if that's why tmneast noticed different results with it during his "forwarding with full headers" testing.

I don't know why it didn't work the first time, but it has worked properly ever since. The full raw version of the spam e-mail is sent in the body of the forwarded mail. (I'm using Mail 1.3.11 (v622) under OS X 10.3.9, in case that matters.) |
