181631 - Add "Mark as Junk Mail" to list of available filter actions (and "Mark as not Junk" too)

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Filters, enhancement)

Description

[Michael Hendy (Hendikins)]

Surely this would be helpful for those of us who set up filters to remove their
spam long before the junk mail feature was added, as if could give said feature
many samples of spam (good if you filter conservatively as so not to get false
positives)...

Also, the opposite - "Mark as not Junk" - should go with it.

Comment 3

[Thommie Rother]

Another aspect why this would be VERY VERY VERY useful:
Some providers use spamasssasin and other mechanisms to mark SPAM, e.g. through
an additional "X-Spam-Flag" or by adding a special "This is probably SPAM"
phrase to the subject line. When you use these tags as a marker for a "Spam"
message filter and combine it with a post-filter action "Mark as junk", this
would also help getting a good data base to be used for automated learning of
the bayesian spam filter in Mozilla. Thus, Mozillas SPAM filtering qualitiy
would benefit from any central SPAM effort which puts some kind of "filterable"
markers into incoming mail.

Attachment: Patch (part 1)

Works when filtering after the fact but not when new mail arrives.

[Matthias Bockelkamp]

Attachment: Patch (part 2)

Necessary changes in nsBayesianFilter.cpp to make it check if junkscore is
already set. This does not compile, I'd need some help with it.

This updated one does compile but does not work as expected. If someone wants

This feature has been implemented as part of the work for bug 224318.
It should be in builds starting with 1.7b-0326, and will be in the 1.7 release.

All you folks with votes for this might want to move them to something else.
If you're looking for more junk-control enhancements, I suggest bug 196036 or 
bug 198100, or better yet bug 223591 which blocks both of those.

Mike, are you saying that the code in the patch has been checked in? Also, could
you describe here or by e-mail how the implementation of this feature reflects
on bug 193625 and its fix patch code?

> Mike, are you saying that the code in the patch has been checked in?

Yes, it has been checked in.  Today's 1.7 nightly build includes it; it's also 
in any trunk builds you might find.

I don't know anything of the code in either patch, so I can't say.
