Steps to reproduce:

Pressed <Ctrl-L> to forward a message to MX Logic spam service.  


Actual results:

A composition window appears, but the only think in the message body area is the table of RFC-822 headers.  The actual spam message content is not being forwarded.


Expected results:

All the **** the spammer put in the message body should've been included.

(a) text/html part starts with HTML comment wthout <html> tag,
and (b) it ends with <html> instead of correct </html>
> </body>
> <html>

If (a) is false, i.e. HTML starts with correct <html>,
or if (b) is false, i.e. HTML ends with correct </html>,
problem won't occur.
Known phenomenon by bug 496723.

By the way, if spam reporting, I believe "mail of as-is" is usually needed.
Why you don't use "Forward as Attachment" instead of "Forward as Inline" in reporting spam?
