Spam email tool

Include a tool to automatically deal with Spam email (eg a wizard).

This might include the previous suggestions to allow you to include specific
text as part of a rule.

But the main purpose would be to analyse the email and create a notify email
to ISP's et alia that their members are sending SPAM. It would automatically
include the headers, rather than requiring a newbee to do the following:

*********************************************************
In Outlook, right-click the suspicious message you want to report, and then
click Options on the shortcut menu.
To copy the full headers, right-click inside the Internet headers box, and
then click Select All on the shortcut menu.
To copy the full header, press CTRL+C, and then click Close.
Open a new message, and type the e-mail address of the company to whom you
are reporting the problem message — for example,
(e-mail address removed).
If Microsoft Word is your e-mail editor, click the down arrow next to
Insert File , and then click Item. If Microsoft Word is not your e-mail
editor, on the Insert menu, click Item.
Click the message you want to report, and then click OK. This attaches the
problem message to the new message.
In the Subject line, type I am reporting suspicious email, or whatever you
think is best to describe what you are doing.
In the body of the new message, to paste the header you copied in step 3,
press CTRL+V.
Click Send.
*****************************************************

And it would contain an email list of people to notify (eg the source picked
out of the headers) and allow the user to pick from the suppliers of any
likely email addresses included in the text.

Finally, it would add the sender to the Junk email sender's list and move
the email to the deleted folder.

Given that the headers on most spam messages do not provide information about
the real sender, all this would do would be to harm the innocent bystanders
whose addresses have been harvested by spammers and are now being used to
spoof the sender address.
