Spamcop MIME attachment errors

[forrie]

I've recently begun receiving error messages from Spamcop, telling me of issues with MIME attachments, etc.

A sample here:

SpamCop encountered errors while saving spam for processing:

Message forwarded in html wrapper.

When forwarding spam, use a MIME attachment or text-type message with

the spam enclosed. Do not send spam in HTML format. Sometimes this

error is caused by using a "resend" feature to forward spam.

HTML spam should be sent in text (source code) format.

The email which triggered this auto-response had the following headers:

I am using Mutt 1.5.23 (2014-03-12) and my macros haven't changed in years:

macro index S ":set autoedit=no fast_reply=yes editor=\"/bin/true\"\n<tag-prefix><forward-message>submit.[OMITTED][at]spam.spamcop.net\n<send-message>:set autoedit=yes fast_reply=no editor=\"/usr/bin/vim\"

\n" \

"Forward tagged mail to SpamCop"

macro pager A ":set autoedit=no fast_reply=yes editor=\"/bin/true\"\n<tag-prefix><forward-message>submit.[OMITTED][at]spam.spamcop.net\n<send-message>:set autoedit=yes fast_reply=no editor=\"/usr/bin/vim\"

\n" \

"Forward individual mail to SpamCop"

Is anyone aware of technical issues with this version of Mutt? I don't understand where the problem is originating, as I've not changed anything, with the exception of Mutt being updated a while ago.

Thanks.

Hi, forrie,

...A couple of things:

• A tracking URL may allow "us" to help you more easily.
  
• Try the results of the search tool. To do that, locate the text box between the white "button" labeled "Search for -->" and the blue button labeled "GO," type "MUTT" into that text box (quote marks optional in this case), then press one of the buttons and peruse the pages to which links are returned.

That tells the whole story. The email you're using to send in the spam is HTML encoded with styles and fonts and colors. That won't work. The message used to send in spam needs to be in plain text.

If that were the case, I would get errors for every message I'm forwarding. In this case, I only seem to be getting a few.

My muttrc is already configured to forward in MIME:

set mime_forward=yes

I added this, as I found it referenced in the FAQ:

set mime_forward_rest=yes
