Adding "post to your website" suggestion.

  And when you do need to forward or attach spams, be sure to note that we need the original message including all the message headers; without headers, it's very likely to be ignored, as it's almost useless for filter development. Never ever cut-and-paste spams since that will almost always change the spacing and line-breaks of the message.
  
- Also note, if you have a large collection of these, it's better to zip or tar.gz them up, instead of sending them one by one.  A gzipped mbox is probably the most convenient way to ship collections of one to one hundred messages (as long as they're all examples for the same thing).
+ Also note, if you have a large collection of these, it's better to zip or tar.gz them up, instead of sending them one by one.  For that matter, this method is often best for even a single message.

+ And rather than post your messages onto the list, which sends your spam to hundreds or thousands of people on the list, it's often better to store your gzipped mesages on your domain's web site, and give us a link to it, so those of us who do this type of analysis can retrieve the message from you without tying up others' resources.
