Steps to reproduce:
Received spam, tried to report it to abuse@aol.com (using "forward")
Actual results:
The headers were forwarded, but the actual message was not.
I copied-pasted the actual message to the end of the message.
Expected results:
The actual message should have been attached to the end of the forwarded message.
My concern is that the spammers have figured out a way to prevent reports to ISPs having enough information to kill the addresses that are being abused.
The attached file is what I got; I am saving the email I got in case this is not complete.

hearder should be enough for ISPs to work with. This looks like a duplicate - but I don't have the bug on the top of my head.
