It's not being worked on. I think we've decided that we are not going to
implement a "spamcop" button that sends emails out to some abuse
address. Seems to me like you'd just be contributing to the world of
spam rather than helping to minimise it.

You can hack on adding that feature yourself, but I'm not sure we'd
accept a patch for it anyway. Speaking of which, that feataure request
should probably just get closed as WONTFIX.

The way I see it, it would be far far better to do something like the
MacOS X mailer does which is covered in some other feature request.
