I circumvented the whole "advanced headers/view source" routine by reading
my hotmail via Outlook Express and processing the spam via "message/forward
as attachment".
Yes you have to have headers set to advanced in order to see the link for
view source - then you copy the whole window and paste into the report box
and submit it. This usually works fine but I use the above method,
especially when there are several spams to submit at one time.
