Here you got me. ;-) I already had this on my todo list for the next steps 
regarding the spam wizard. I consider the current state as limited in 
configurability, and I fully second your proposals. Our intentions meet 
perfectly. ;-)
But what I don't want to do is to work completely outside cvs. I prefer 
letting the then current state going in after 3.2 and give a possibility to 
others to discuss that state. (In the same way as you pointed me to the 
configurability weakness.) On the other hand I will continue to work on the 
wizard, so you can expect some improvements over the patch I've sent to you 
when the code goes into cvs.

I've seen that yesterday evening. It's even possible to mark messages as 
spam / ham by a filter action. Till fixed a problem in the saving of that 
configuration yesterday night, and I've supported those actions inside the 
wizard (locally on my disk).

I need to find out how to configure this. Then it should be no problem to 
set up the right filters and associate them with toolbar buttons.

So basically we already have the infrastructure settled. Experience users 
will be able to setup KMail in a way to be comparable to other MUAs anti 
spam features. Other users will have to wait for the intermediate release.
