I see.

I'm reading in the Opera ng/s^1 that redirect is /supposed to/ function
as forward as attachment does in OE, but I'm reading an Opera person
saying in the forums^2 that redirect doesn't work like that.

Have you tried redirect?  How about doing one of those and posting the
tracker, even if it doesn't work so that we can find out if redirect is
working like the person in the opera ng sez or like the forum person
sez.

"Then Redirect sounds like what you want.  The message will keep the ole
headers basically unchanged, and the receiver will see the message as
sent from the spammer.  (In addition, the message will have new headers
where the receiver can see who actually sent the message: resent-from
with your address, in addition to the original from with the spammers
address, resent-message-id with your message-id, in addition to the
original message-id etc.)  Redirect is so seldom used it does not have a
button on the toolbar by default, but it is available in the
context-menu you get when right-clicking the message in the message
list."

"Redirect removes the headers and just pastes the body into a fresh
email."

The SC faq has a very very large section on how to submit spams properly
to the parser and how to email them.  Unfortunately Opera isn't
mentioned in either.
