Yes. I have a LART tool that does exactly that that I’ve used daily for about a month.

Basically, I reroute all of my junk mail into a special folder. I review it quickly there and remove anything that isn't junk. Then I run this script. I don’t care about sending attachments; I’ve never gotten a spam with an attachment of significant size. Most spammers like to get the images/etc from a bugged URL.

You’ll have to change the address ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) to yours, and the folder paths since you probably don’t use the structure I do. You’ll also need an incoming rule to route junk to the spam folder, and probably an incoming rule to route SpamCop’s autoacks to a folder.

tell application "Microsoft Entourage"
    activate
    copy the messages of folder "New" of folder "Spam" of folder "Inbox" to theMessages
    repeat with theMessage in theMessages
        copy the source of theMessage to theSource
        copy (make new outgoing message with properties {subject:"Spam report", content:theSource, recipient:{address:"[EMAIL PROTECTED]", recipient type:to recipient}}) to theNewMessage
        send theNewMessage
        set the read status of theMessage to read
        move theMessage to folder "Reported" of folder "Spam" of folder "Inbox"
    end repeat
end tell
