To add to that, it certainly doesn't HELP spammers if having to open a 
spam to be able to forward it to report it means actually getting the 
spammer shut down as opposed to sticking your head in the sand and 
pretending it's not there just because you can't get the raw html 
without opening it in web-based e-mail. Aside from almost missing 
important e-mails because the subject and from looked spammy, if I never 
looked in my bulk folder to report spam there, I would also miss a few 
other important e-mails that occasionally hit the bulk folder by 
accident, although e-mail in those cases is easier to judge as legit by 
just looking at the subject and from.
