Hi Dan - If you include the full text of the message, many sites have spam detection that sees that as spam, and sees that it comes from the lute list, and they flag the lute list as sending spam. These sites may then send me an official complaint, or bounce the message back to me and I have to figure out what happened and whether to take the recipient off the list. Also, a list reader could mark your message as spam (because it has spam in it) and again lodge a complaint to me, or to Dartmouth College, or even worse, a service could stop accepting mail from Dartmouth College.
So it is best not to include the spam in your message, because that makes your message spam in the eyes of many spam filters all over the world! Maybe just include a one line summary.
