Hi,

it's a nice possibility to mark messages as spam or ham in KMail 1.6, but 
IMO the presentation of the actions to set these status from within the 
toolbar is misleading. As many other MUAs can use plugins or have build-in 
spamfilters the users of KMail might (resp. will) expect such functionality 
behind these toolbar actions.
(see like Mozilla Mail handles "junk" mail)

So, please, please remove these toolbar entries from the default KMail 
toolbar!

BTW I'm still thinking about how to bridge the gap between (filter) actions 
and status flag changes. Triggering a filter can be done via menu, can have 
an icon and can be done via the toolbar. This might be perfect to have a 
filter which marks messages as spam and pipe it to an external anti spam 
tool (e.g. sa-learn or bogofilter). A status change marks the message but 
can't currently get associated with an action.
Okay, this is something for 3.2, but if somebody has a good idea please let 
me know (Marc?).

Regards,
Andreas
