Spammers are getting better

I use Mac Mail on Comcast, but I post here because I think it is general computer topic.

Comcast would like any spam to be mailed to their specific address missed-spam@comcast.net with the spam as an attached file, not to simply forward it.

Early in the year, for about three months I would get a spam every day and sent it to Comcast as directed. Just dragged that mail into a new mail window.

Yesterday, all of a sudden two spams and today two more. But... I cannot drag the file into a new mail message. It just bounces back. Regular mails can be attached, I tested.

So I am back at expanding the header and forwarding. Have not heard complained from Comcast, yet.

Anyone has encountered this?
