I do also read abuse@ at work. I feel your pain ;) But as a regular abuse
report submitter, it is however _also_ the reality that often if you include
the spam as an message/rfc822 attachment all too often the abusedesk mails
back "please include full headers" because their mail program doesn't
show it. Frustrating but unfortunately all too common.

Outlook reply sucks. But when a message is forwarded to me I find it
very useful if some of the original headers are there, otherwise
you never can tell who the original sender and original recipient were.
