Indeed, they only accept 'properly formatted spam' ??

So all a spammer has to do to prevent getting reported (at least via
spamcop) is make their headers not comply with spamcop's rules?

I remember getting some warning about some spam I submitted (exactly as
received, mind you) that had an HTML Mime-Type, but did not contain
HTML! I'm sorry, thats how the spammer sent it, why should it be a
problem for the person reporting it?

At least it was just a warning, and spamcop still took it, but the
documentation I was referred to suggested they might not accept it in
the future.
