Chaboo Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 When I get a spam email from Yahoo, I dont want to open it for fear of infection. What i do is right click on the email in the spam folder and select VIEW FULL HEADER, then I copy and paste it into SpamCop for submission. But I get this error and dont know quite how to fix it No body text provided, check format of submission. spam must have body text Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisati Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The submission form requires the complete email source, not just the header. I rarely use webmail with Yahoo these days, so I'm a bit out of touch with safe ways of viewing the complete email source using their webmail. I don't blame you for being cautious about opening emails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lking Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Chaboo, Just to be clear are you looking at the spam "in" a Yahoo web mail page OR are you talking about a spam FROM: a yahoo source that you are receiving in some other email app like Outlook, Firebird, etc.?

Chaboo Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share Posted December 16, 2015 Thanks for the replies. The spam I am looking at is coming into my Yahoo mail, not Outlook or Firebird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisati Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I prefer to use Thunderbird which allows me to access the full source of a message without viewing images and other potentially nasty stuff. I've heard that in the past some Yahoo users have had to fork out $$$$ to use POP3/IMAP with Yahoo, and suspect that I've had "free" access because my ISP uses Yahoo to host its email.
