It did almost exactly what I did, and arrived at the same conclusion, ie
that the mail came from a UUNet dialup and should be reported to
abuse-mail_at_uu.net, which is what I did. I got the acknowledgement of my
complaint a few minutes later.

BTW, it's often the case that ISPs like UUNet respond more strongly if
several people complain about the same spammer, so there's nothing to stop
anyone else making a similar complaint. You do need to include *all* the
headers, though, and preferably the body of the text, too.
