nogin Posted May 31, 2004 Share Posted May 31, 2004 Just wondering - have anybody ever tried to create a plugin (.xpi) for Mozilla (and consequently - Netscape) that would add a "report this messsage to SpamCop" entry to the message menu (and the right-click context menu)? The way I envision it is that it would bring up a browser window, sending an appropriate POST request (with the full spam body) to the SpamCop reporting. This would be very convenient and save a lot of time spent on copying/pasting to the web interface or attaching and waiting in the case of email interface... P.S. Personally, I use email interface, so every time there is some slowdown (like today), I keep wishing for a more reliable way to report spam quickly (without having to manually copy&paste everything).

Not quite what you're looking for, but I use Mozilla's IMAP support to drag messages directly to my Spamcop Held Mail folder. From there, I use the VER page to quick-report them. Not quite the instant-gratification of a "report this" button, but it's pretty swift and painless once you get used to it. I believe this requires a paid account, though...

PeterJ Posted June 1, 2004 Share Posted June 1, 2004 This has been posted and answered several times at Mozillazine from the looks of a quick search. This thread sums it up pretty good: http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.ph...ghlight=spamcop I think it would be a useful extension to Thunderbird for many users (although I would not likely use it), however no one has taken the time to create it. Also checked the extensions here and did not see anything like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
