Preview allows you to see to whom the spam reports will be sent, information about the source of the spam and the links that were identified in the spam body. Below that is the content of the spam [with all email addresses and other items that may be traceable back to you removed]. The content includes the full headers and the body of the spam with all of the 'obfuscations' including phony HTML tags, encoded text, microscopic font sizes and numerous other ridiculous items spammers put in the junk they send out also either decoded or removed. SpamX also decodes spam bodies encoded with 'base64' encoding which would otherwise be humanly unreadable and the cleans them up per above. Figure 2, below, shows more of the report preview. Below that are examples of just some of the spam 'de-obfuscation' that SpamX performs.

All much easier for both you and the report recipients to read as well as removing encodings the spammers might use to trace back to your email address.
