Hi I am using TB 38.2.0 with Windows 7 SP1 Professional. I have recently started receiving a lot of spam and would like to send it to a company that identifies spam and spammers and endeavours to get the spam stopped and the spammers "seen to". The company says that the spam has to be forwarded to them as either a MIME attachment or a text file enclosing the spam.

I have made the spam into a text file (I think) by selecting "Edit" in then selecting "Select All" and transferring it to Notepad. However when I transfer it to Notepad the header is not included. How do I copy the header to a text file along with the body of the message and, alternatively, how do I forward the spam as a MIME attachment?

Any help would be gratefully appreciated

Select the spam message in the message pane. Then File (Alt-F) - Save as - File

The message will be saved as an .eml files containing all headers.
