Some ignoramus probably wasn't aware of how easy it is to stop getting those e-mails and preferred to click the _report as spam_ button. Naturally I corrected the e-mail and got it out of the spam-house. But now I wonder: does my vote that it is not spam have more weight than a vote that it is spam? That _would_ be a nice feature, I think. One would sooner classify something as spam than the other way around, so I think it would make sense. Peter can you tell me how this works? Bye, Laurens.
