VER (Very Easy Reporting) is an exclusive feature of the SpamCop Parsing and Reporting System which only SpamCop Email System Customers may access. It is variously known as VER (Very Easy Reporting), Held Email, Held Mail Log, held log, and heldlog, and in all cases resides at http://mailsc.spamcop.net/reportheld?action=heldlog. It can accessed via the "Held Email" Button/Link in the menu bar of the SpamCop Parsing and Reporting System http://mailsc.spamcop.net/ (which can be accessed via the "Report Spam" Button/Link in Webmail) and has six Actions as follows:
Those Actions may be performed on any of the displayed email messages (or all via the "Check All" Link or none via the "Reset" Link), which at maximum are the first 100 messages (in chronological order of receipt) in the Customer's Held Mail mailbox/Folder. Note that only unread, unmarked messages show up in VER, that the act of entering VER causes them to be flagged as "read", and that the Action "Queue for reporting (do not trash)" causes them to be flagged as "marked".

The following fields are shown from each message:
Message UID Number bolded and in brackets (incremented every time a message enters your Held Mail mailbox/Folder)
Email Address from the message's From Header Line (no full name, just the address)
Message Subject bolded
Preview Link (which previews the raw email safely, including complete headers and body but not parsing any HTML in the body) bolded
Date from the messages Date Header Line (indented on a separate line)
Reason for being Held (if applicable, in parentheses)

A sample of what VER looks like is as follows:
-- Select Action -- [a dropdown box containing the Actions on the left side of the CODE box above]
[Release / Delete selected messages] [a Button]
Check All Reset

[Release / Delete selected messages] [a Button identical to the above Button]

Samples of the output VER produces are as follows:You should think about moving to Webmail's Held Mail mailbox/Folder because it's faster and, according to JT's latest Post on the subject, VER "won't necessarily go away but there won't be much development taking place on it. New features and the like will all need to go into the webmail interface. Major bugs will be fixed in VER, but we're not going to be adding features."

...Looks good (to someone who doesn't have SpamCop e-mail and therefore can not verify accuracy).
...Might it be worthwhile to include any caveats about dangers (reporting your own ISP)?
