238950 - add collaborative spam filtering ability

I would love to set (through a dialog) a webaddress that is contacted when my
spam filter kicks in.  For example, it would send a request in the background to
   http://spamcollab.somedomain.org?fields...
I should be able to specify what fields are getting sent:  information like an
md5 or a hash code (or whatever the Bayesian filter uses), and the originating
smtp mail host.  the default spamcollab host could be a mozilla or netscape
host.  if mozilla had this feature, then someone could put together a really
nice system for creating blacklists.  this would generate some value and
probably revenues.

(of course, in some future version, mozilla should be able to incorporate such
blacklists, too.  I find that my filters are becoming less accurate as the
spammers become more inventive.)

regards,  /iaw
