how to script the forwarding of spoof/phishing emails?

I get a few phishing spams a day, almost always from PayPal and eBay. I make it a point to send them to to the spoof@ address for each service, but I would like to be able to automate the process of viewing the message as raw text, forwarding it to spoof@, and then sending them on.

I looked at Automator and AppleScript but neither seems to have the mojo necessary to change the view of the message so I can forward on the revealing bits.

Anyone cracked this particular nut?

If it doesn’t download cleanly, just copy and paste from the comments, then search and replace curly quotes with the other kind.
