Wouldn't you just know it.  I figured out how to forward properly right
after I posted the question.  Hotmail was composing my forwards as Rich Text
and I had to change to Plain Text.  The Spamcop response spelled it out.
Maybe I hadn't read the error response closely in the past.  I thought I
deleted the question but here it is with a discussion.  I'm kinda surprised
nobody mentioned Plain Text, but no matter.

The spam in my Hotmail box has gone from a flood to a trickle.  Somebody is
doing something right.
