[MlMt] junk mail wagaries

[Robert Brenstein]

I just realized that moving to junk mailbox and marking as junk are 2 
different and independent things. Does anybody knows what triggers 
each? I expected mail moved to the junk mailbox automatically tagged 
as junk and mail tagged as junk automatically moved to the junk 
mailbox. Well, I should add that indeed sometimes moving a message to 
the junk mailbox marks it as junk as well.

There is also usability issue. I can put messages into the junk 
mailbox using the button on the toolbar, the right-click popup on the 
message, or an item in the message menu. However, it seems that the 
only way to mark message as junk is to actually open it and click 
"mark as junk" on the yellow bar, which seems to be shown only for 
messages that are already in the junk mailbox (when I click move to 
junk while having the message open, the yellow bar does not appear 
until I close the message and open it again).

Confusing and mysterious...

The reason for my struggle is that I am trying to set up smart 
mailboxes that exclude junk mail. I can easily set up a condition to 
exclude mail flagged as $Junkk but I do not see a way to say: show 
all mail in this mailbox excluding mailbox Junk.
