Lots of us don't use web mail. We use POP or IMAP to pick up our
mail, and SUMBIT to send it. How would we add a spam button in our
MUAs work?
Spamassassin and other filters are using mailboxes for training
spam/non-spam. An add on for Thunderbird which automates sending to
these at a click of a button or builds into Thunderbird's spam marking
system would make spam reporting to baysian filters faster. If we're
looking towards LART'ing this should ALWAYS be done manually. Automated
e-mail sent to people that don't want it is the problem, creating more
based on a broken research script isn't the solution.
