forwarding with full headers (results changed!)
Authored by: sjk on Feb 26, '06 11:21:00PM

Thanks for investigating and figuring out this much.

I've manually forwarded raw messages a few times as you described. I'm sure there's some way to automatically encapsulate them as attachments instead. I'll send a request to the Mail Scripts developer since it seems like something he might consider writing and including with that package.

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.
