Sorry, I was actually mocking "anon" - most of my spam is also marked,
either by SpamAssasin or PerlMx-Spam depending on the mail server.
As I a) want full control of what I report and b) always report through
the web site, there is no way I can avoid opening the spam.

Besides, your reply says abolutely nothing about how to *report* spam,
which what I asked. And you don't say *why* you discourage opening spam,
though I think I have an idea.

However, in my world adware, spyware, trojans, worms and viruses are 
a non-issue so I have no problem opening and reporting every spam.
For that matter, OE is a non-issue in my world, too :-)
