Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 181466

(Thunderbird :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Graham Anderson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

Currently, Thunderbird's Spam filtering allows you to mark spam messages as junk
with a button on the toolbar. In preferences, you can set the action of manually
marking a message as Junk to Delte the message.

Many individuals and organisations now use Spam filtering services like SpamCop.
With SpamCop, each individual user has a personalised spam reporting address -
when they receive spam messages they forward the entire message to the reporting
address for spamcop processing.

Currently, Thunderbird/SpamCop users have to manually select the message and hit
"Forward as attachment" and then add their personalised reporting address and
send it on. Once reported, they then have to hit the Junk Mail button to update
their local Bayesian filters and/or manually delete the offending spam.

It would be very useful for users of SpamCop-like services if the "Mark as Junk"
button action could be configured to:
+ update Bayesian filters
+ forward to SpamCop reporting address without saving in Sent folder
+ move to Junk Folder or Delete

Similarly, in the UI of the junk folder it would be useful to add a button to
"Report Junk Mail and then Delete".

You're right. My apologies - I did search Bugzilla before posting the feature
request - obviously not very well!
