The other think it would add is to not trust any information that you get
from the suspicious messages, e.g. there email address to reply to. Look
that up independently. Also, you could start the conversation with them by
generally describing the email, and let them ask for the exact copy.
They asked for the copies during the phone conversation.

The textual content raises many red flags.
a. the emails did *NOT* include local telephone number
b. today's email had a *BLANK* subject line
c. the attachment to one email was an *.EXE* file
*BUT* I'm a Linux user
I notified them by telephone that I *suspected a problem*

Most e-mail clients will allow you to save to disk the entirety of an
e-mail message, headers and body both included.
That is what I wanted.
I suggest you save it to disk, then gzip or xz it, and send it as an
attachment to your provider.
HOW?
I use SeaMonkey version 2.49.4 under Linux (IE. Debian 9.)
Am I askinging the RIGHT questions?
