I'd hit "C" and put it in an email which I send to submit.ypf<a bunch of alphanumerics
which must identify me to Spamcop>@spam.spamcop.net.

Right.  I'd had Opera (the mail/news client portion) set to automatically
line-wrap outgoing messages.  While helpful for mail and news, it made
Spamcop hack and cough.  That "More info" link might benefit from a
mention of that for the Opera people.  Not that we represent a large
demographic (Hey, I play a pedal steel guitar, too; I've grown used to
traveling in small company).
