I use spamcop not because I don't know how to read email headers but because
I'm too busy; spamcop can take a forwarded spam email, extract the
appropriate header information and send off appropriate complaints to the
upstream, all in a few seconds.  If I had to do the analysis, figure out the
upstream provider, write a letter of complaint and send it, it would never
get done, and it is too important a problem not to be complaining about
it...
