I subscribed to a newsletter from the PC World magazine. The newsletter is always marked "Thunderbird thinks this message might be an email scam". It is not. Except for clicking on the "Not a Scam" button evry time, how can I teach Thunderbird that it is not a scam?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Message send from: PC World Windows News & Tips <pcworld@lm.pcworld.com>
Actual Results:  
Subscribe to the newsletter.

Expected Results:  
No false scam message alerts.
'Scam' messages are not based on a learning algorithm like junk messages, but on a heuristic anlysis of the message. For instance when it contains a link to a URL with an ipaddress that is not in your own network.

Note that the message stays visible (not moved to a different folder), it only tries to warn you that the content of the message might be harmful.
