There you see the problem that makes users often believe that flashrom indeed works (but potentially does not): the 'S' suffix printed for every block indicates that flashrom skipped modification because the data on the chip was already equal to flash contents. (The current developer version warns about this even without verbose output).
BTW, your mail program wraps long lines which makes the log output hard to read. You can create log files with flashrom -o <filename.log> and attach those instead.
