Forward Unopened messages?

[Ted]

I'm trying to cut down spam and don't want to open any
spam emails. The FTC has an email address
([email protected]) where you can forward spam emails that
don't follow the regs or don't have opt-out options
however when I forward the message Outlook opens it. Is
there a way to forward the offending spam email as an
attachment without opening it?

Thanks
Ted

Create a new message and drag the unopened message from your Inbox to the
new message.

Brian, I just tried it and the attachement appeared to be
unopened in the new message however when I look back at
the junk folder where it came from it shows the message
as having ben opened.

That's the best I can do.

Brian,
Thanks for trying but I think I may have found a way to
make it work. Please pass it on to others so we can stop
these creeps.
I created a new folder on my desktop called "Spam"
Then I highlighted the unopened offending messages in
Outlook and dragged them into the new "Spam" folder where
they appeared as unopened Outlook messages listed as file
types "Outlook Item".
I then created my email to the FTC ([email protected]) and then
attached all the items (messages) from the "Spam" folder
to the new email.
I tested it on a good email and was able to open it ok
from the new folder just like a regular message and after
dragging to the new folder it did not open the original
message.
