What I do, especially with Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Frauds, is the following

[list=1][*]When looking at the E-mail in Outlook Express I do File - Properties[*]Click on the Details tab to get the header details.[*]Highlight this and Copy. (Then close the Properties box)[*]Click on Forward and paste in the header details to the new e-mail[*]Looking at the e-mail address of the spammer establish which ISP it is from (e.g Hotmail, Yahoo etc.) This is usually the bit after the @[*]Put in the To field abuse@base isp address e.g. abuse@hotmail.com[*]Send and then delete the original spam[*]If this works, and the senders e-mail address is not a spoofed e-mail address, the ISP will terminate their account[/list=1]

Unfortunately some of them know how to spoof their e-mail address
