I find it too restrictive to call this a "junk button" as this mechanism
can be used more widely than just this way.
Ah, well that's a different question. This particular discussion is about
how to get reports from the user to the administrator of the system. How
the user triggers the report is an exercise for the MUA programmers, but
we've been thinking that it's likely to be a button labelled "junk".
Having talked to a fair number of ISPs who provide junk buttons, none of
them thought that more buttons would help. Users don't distinguish among
all the reasons they might not want a message, and asking them to do so
is more likely to get random answers or no answers than good ones.
The only think other than a junk button that appears useful is a
not-junk button to display when looking at stuff in a junk folder. I
suppose we could do that, but then we'd have to define what a junk
folder is. Or if we do this with a header applied by the MDA, it could
have a flag hinting which way the junk flag is set now.
R's,
John
