issues with link obfuscation

I'm a bit lost in the wealth of forums here and hope this is the right forum for this issue.

Most of the spam I get includes something similar to:

spamcop obviously doesn't get the  paqcmased.com part and google doesn't want to know about the abuse of it's search, so I used whois.icann.org to look up the Abuse Contact Email:, which is tld-abuse@r01.ru for this recurring example, to send a copy of the spam report to.

Starting today it is not possible to send a copy of the spam report to anybody any more as that option doesn't exist any more.

First I would find it very helpfull if the parser at spamcop was able to extract those embedded domains and second I wonder why I can not send a copy of reports to anybody any more. I did not see an announcement that this function is disabled but I might have missed it.

Additional notes 

TumbleWeed do you not see "Re: User Notification" with the box to enter the TO: email address?

I currently have no unreported spam but if I remember right the notes area is present, but before today there was an additional field where I could enter one more e-mail address to send a spam report to that all of a sudden disappeared today.

Yes report was sent to the email server that sent it. Google have disabled SpamCop reports to them, you can send one from your email account though.

I got that (I don't want to send anything to google) but there was no option to send a report to tld-abuse@r01.ru who is the registrar for paqcmased.com as the field to enter tld-abuse@r01.ru, that I used so far, was missing today.

OK you know the drill, you are better than SpamCop, Keep up the attack,

today reporting is back to normal, the missing field for an additional reporting address is back.

I wonder whether yesterdays issues could be related to "Add fuel to your account" which is not easy to do for someone living outside the us.
