Ellen, I am NOT trying to pick nits, however, I have a question and an 
observation followed by a question:
First the question -- If we install one of the apps that are linked to on 
the SpamCop reporting website, can we forward as attachment?
Second, the observation -- the website says FOUR add-on products, but only 
lists three. Is there a fourth product or was someone referring to 
SpamDeputy, which is defunct???
