293744 - junk mail whitelist by subject line

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 285922

(MailNews Core :: Filters, enhancement)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041217

When subscribed to a private mailing list, it is typical for these to have a
consistent prefix in the Subject line.  Unfortunately, the Junk Mail filter
sometimes filters these messages inappropriately.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
It would be nice if it was possible to exempt e-mails with Subject lines
matching certain phrases from the Junk Mail filter.

Ideally, this would be exposed in the Junk Mail settings window, but could be
left as a hidden pref.

Reporter, you have to train the spam-filter to recognize these as 'not junk'.
Select the message and click on the button in the toolbar.

I understand that the efficiency of the spam filter increases, but after 12-24
months of training my spam filter, I still periodically have to fish these
messages out of the Junk pile (I filter messages automatically because of the
large volumes of spam I receive).

If it is possible to whitelist by sender, why not make it possible to filter by
subject line as well?

should be fixed in FF 1.1
