Product Description:

SpamReporter is an AppleScript designed to work with Microsoft Entourage (from Office v10 or the Classic versions). When you receive a Spam message -- or messages as the case may be -- simply select the message(s) and then choose "SpamReporter Script" from Entourage's script menu. The script will then do the following magic:

Create a new report message.
Set the subject of the report message to the Spam message's subject prefixed with "FWD SPAM:".
Extract the FULL header information from the Spam message and put it in the body of the report message.
Copy the Spam message's body and insert it below the headers in the report message.
Address the report message to the addresses you provide (uce@ftc.gov is included by default).
Send the report message to the recipients using the POP account you specify (or your default address, by default).
Delete the original Spam message form your Inbox.

Best of all, SpamReporter does all this in a fraction of a second � and the only thing you have to do is select it from Entourage's script menu. If you have a SpamCop reporting address, you can add it to the list of report addresses and kill two birds with one stone.

What's new in this version:

Spam messages to be deleted by the script are now marked as "Read" prior to their deletion. For multiple Spam report/deletes, this means you'll no longer have "unread" messages bold-facing your Deleted Items folder, making you wonder what's in there.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

Mac OS X 10.1
Mac OS Classic

Additional Requirements:

Entourage
Mac OS 9 or higher
Mac OS X 10.1 or higher

Have to make changes for IMAP account - Version: 1.5, 7/28/2004 02:15PM PST

w.m.s

I'm using Spamcop as a registered user and have Entourage configured to access my Spamcop account via IMAP. When you try to run the script as described in the readme file it won't work: Entourage shows an error message, something with "some object" - whatever.

Those who like to use this script with an IMAP account, change the following script code:

The line beginning with
"set MyMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {account:POP"

must be changed to
"set MyMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {account:IMAP"

Just for those who wonder themselves. :)

Thanks for the script, although. :)
