A multipart/digest would have the following minimal format:

From: $you
To: $your-SC-address
Date: $now
Subject: -/-
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: multipart/digest ; boundary="see.below"

no MIME no problem (dummy prologue)
--see.below

[1st complete spam here]
--see.below

[2nd complete spam here]
--see.below--
correct MIME is always fine (dummy epilogue)

End of file.  Of course you must be sure that all parts (spam)
do not contain any boundary line --see.below or --see.below--.
You can omit the dummy prologue and epilogue texts, SC and all
MIME mail user agents ignore it.

If you have anything to say in the multipart digest you could
put it in the Subject, e.g. "[Fwd] spam", or add a text/plain
part immediately after the prologue:

--see.below
Content-Type: text/plain

Hi, is this (see below) your spam ?
--see.below

[1st spam etc.]

Probably SC is not exactly happy with the idea, but you could
send it directly to port 25 of vmx1.spamcop.net, if you don't
have a smart host at this moment of the procedure.  If you're
online, free to use port 25, and other obvious conditions. ;-)
