Inbound Spam Emails Increasing - From Many Wacky Email Addresses/Domains - Two Images in Body

To forward an email as an attachment in Outlook, see Can I forward an email as an attachment? at https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/reply-to-or-forward-an-email-message-a843f8d3-01b0-48da-96f5-a71f70d0d7c8 .

Forwarding as an attachment keeps the full headers.

See the instructions at https://www.xfinity.com/support/articles/mark-email-as-spam-xfinity-connect.

I have a few questions about this:

======

Email Client Users (Windows Mail, Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.)

1. Select the message you wish to report as spam.
2. Forward the spam message as an attachment to missed-spam@comcast.net.

[....]

=========

Are we supposed to use the Forward comand, and thereby forward the message to Comcast, or are we supposed to save the message as a file (say, as a PDF file or a text .txt file), and then attach the text file to a message sent to missed-spam@comcast.net?  If the latter, should the message have a particular subject header, e.g., Re: Missed Spam, or Re: Spam Email?

Also, should we cause all message headers to be displayed when forwarding the message or saving the message as a file?

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Thank you for your reply. 

I do not use Outlook, but I do see that my email client (GyazMail) does offer the possibility of Forward as Attachment in the Message pull-down menu.

I apologize @JJMcVeigh . I wasn't paying attention and thought I was answering the OP. I'm not familiar with GyazMail. I'm inclined to believe that forwarding as an attachment would keep the headers, as opposed to just plain forwarding. Works that way for other email clients as well.

No apology necessary.  Thank you for your response.

Thank you all.  I have attached today's emails, and forwarded to missed-spam@comcast.net. 

Fingers crossed!!

Update:  Thank you all for the suggestions, the occurance of of the spam emails has dropped, none for a few days now!  I'd like to get past the holidays and monitor for another week before closing, in case the 'bad guys' laid low the past week.

Happy New Year everyone!
