I would like to see that exactly.  If you can post a tracker to one of
those items, I can comment on it.

A tracker looks like:

http://www.spamcop.net/sc?id=z931595589ze19c2f93bcb5c03ec48ca212323eda79z

and it is found at the top of the spam parse before cancelling or
reporting.  If you want to use an old one you have already reported, you
can access it with a reportid which is a little complicated to explain
how to do, or you could just parse it again and copy the tracker and
then cancel the report and then paste the tracker here.
