>>>Well, that's the one client which doesn't preserve the source for you, and reformats the whole message into some proprietary binary format. Of course they don't want you to be able to view the source. Just about any other client would let you take a look.

If so, does the spammer's message contain a "X-Complaints-To: abuse@vjsrepresentacao.com.br"? In my case, since it already did, I have forwarded the whole email to them. Not good enough, it was three weeks ago and you still got yours, so the guy is still active.

Every time I move to a next OS/version/machine, I keep the profile and email folders (never on system disk!), and then install the tBird, and repointer its ini file to use this profile. So I didn't have to migrate or whatever since about 1998. Only when moving the whole archive to a larger disk.

Thank you for sharing. Maybe when I retire (if I ever retire) I will learn how to get away from M$.
