Major advantage in forwarding is that you can forward a large number of
spams with one click of the mouse on the send button.
Everything that happens after you receive the mail and click on the links in
it is the same as after you c&p in the window and click on the process
button. Same choices same action after clicking send reports etc.
Your handling of the original spam would also be the same - you can delete
it immediately or not - your choice. I usual wait until I have sent the
reports as I HAVE had errors on processing the link in one submittal and
successful processing in a resubmittal of the same spam via the "forwarding"
method.
