One way to troubleshoot spam reporting problems encountered with
forwarding as attachment is to paste the complete spam into the
webparser instead of using the forward as attachment method.

Some problems encountered with trying to email your spam submit do not
occur with the webparser, such as using Forward instead of Forward as
attachment.

Your newsagent is OE Outlook Express.  Assuming that is also your
mailuser agent, you would get the raw spam with complete headers by
selecting the spam item and using File/ Properties/ Details tab/ Message
source button and select all copy and paste it into the webparser which
is seen at http://www.spamcop.net/ when you are logged in.

The faq tells how to use your OE mailuser agent to copy the spam with
complete headers for pasting into the webparser here
