Since my exact address is in the body of some spams, "Dear eman <AT> ameritech.net.." should I send the report anyway even though that address will be seen by possible evil-doers?
Thanks

If that address is the same as the "To" address on the spam, SpamCop will find it in the body text and delete it. Otherwise, not. You're welcome to delete it yourself before you process the spam if you want.

You can use the "Preview Reports" button to see what the report will look like before you send it out. If you don't like what you see, you can use the "Cancel" button.

Thanks Waz. I take from that post that I can delete my addy from the body and paste everything into the parser. Unless you post otherwise that's what I'll do from now on if time permits.
