Every service provider has its own address for reporting
spam -- Comcast uses [email protected], for example --
but abuse@ is common enough that yours probably has an
auto-responder set up to send you the correct address if
that isn't the address they use.
Some want the message simply forwarded -- no cover letter is
needed since you wouldn't write to that address for any
other reason -- some want the spam forwarded as an
attachment. If you send it the wrong way, you should get a
message from the robot that handles spam.
I suspect that those who ask for an attachment do so because
some mailers give you the option of forwarding without
headers, and it's the headers they need. Easier to say
"attach it" than "don't mess with it", particularly since
you may not even know your mailer is leaving "irrelevant"
bits out.
