Yes, but please don't quote it.  We saw it once already.
 
I've sent it to [log in to unmask]  It wouldn't hurt if others did so as well.
(This is the *second* mailing list I saw this on.)
 
BTW, always send *all* headers when reporting spam.  It's a frequent
practice to "spoof" aol.com addresses (for example), though in this case
it looks to me like this one did indeed originate from AOL.  Without
full headers, the ISP being complained to can't distinguish forgeries
from the real thing.
 
And, always be polite.  We want these folks on *our* side.  Plus, maybe
it's a forgery and a friendly message will convince them to pursue it
further, whereas flaming the postmaster will just get them to trash your
complaint.
