}Subject: [JA] Spam from myself!
}From: bvcb@xxxxxxxx

}I received a spam message today that appeared in my list of incoming
}messages as from me, at this Juno address!
}
}That's a real first, and pretty scary.
}
}BTW...does anyone know of any way to save a message without opening and
}then running a scan on it?  I wanted to look at the header information,
}but not take a chance on a virus.  Since I couldn't figure out how to do
}it, I just deleted it.
}
}
}If I highlight both the "safe" message that is always in my box, and
then
}the suspected message, it is not possible to save two message to a
}Windows "dump" folder for scanning....the "save message as text file" is
}grayed out in the Juno menu.
}
}------------------------------

        That is one that needed to be forwarded to juno abuse, with a
note requesting information on its true origin, for a forgery complaint! 
(See a lawyer for additional civil action.  If they can ID the
originator, you may have a defamation of character case!)

        Select both 
        then Forward 
        then Save message as text file... 
        then Clear the write screen
        ...

        This method creates a message that MIME2FRM can convert to an
importable folder, importable even in to juno version 1.  The saved file
(before conversion) is a MIME message with each selected original as an
attachment.  Bring that in to notepad (or perhaps wordpad?) and you
should be able to safely read the contents.
