Mouse-less spam reporting in Apple Mail

junkmailInspired by a post on SpamCop about reporting spam in Thunderbird using keyboard shortcuts, here is the sequence for Apple Mail:

Mail.app (Command-Option-U)—View message source
Mail.app (Command-A)—Select all
Mail.app (Command-C)—Copy
Quicksilver (Control-Spacebar)—Open Quicksilver (with my shortcut)
Quicksilver (“spr” then enter)—Open Spamcop reporting page using QS
Safari (Tab) (Tab) (Command-V)—Paste email into spam reporting field
Safari (Tab) (Spacebar)—Submit spam
Safari Wait for SpamCop confirmation page to open
Safari (Shift-Tab)—Repeat until the “Send Spam reports button” is selected
Safari (Spacebar)—To submit Spam
Mac OS (Command-Tab)—Select Apple Mail
Mail.app (Shift-Command-J)—Marks the email as spam (if needed)

It made me wonder: What is the most complicated thing you can do in Apple Mail without touching the mouse?

    [...] I like to think that Mail.app can do anything that Thunderbird can. Mouse-less spam reporting? No problem! Getting things done? No problem! [...]

    Does someone have a script to automate (either using QiuckSilver or AppleScript inside Mail.app) to do all that in one move?

    Or yet (its only a matter of time, I suppose)

    Thanks so much.

    Keep on rocking in the free world, as a wise man once said.

    Cheers
