First I copy the headers *only* and paste them into the reporting box.
Normally I remember to delete the 'Block and Add Address' text (links on
original page) after pasting the headers - but forgetting to do so doesn't
seem to affect the parsing process.
I then return to the spam message and click on 'Forward' with 'inline' option
selected (as if I was going to email the complaint). I copy everything
between and including the first HTML tag to the end of the message and paste
that into the reporting box on the web site (making sure there is a blank line
between the headers and message body). The spam then usually processes
normally & correctly.
For some reason Yahoo! does NOT put a quotation symbol ( > ) at the beginning
of the quoted material appearing after the first HTML tag - but the character
is present on every quoted line before that tag (basically the ' > ' is only
in the headers and is a lot of work to remove manually). See example below.
I then cancel the forward email at Yahoo! without sending it unless there is a
reason to send a complaint myself - example: spam from home.com or psi.net.
