Isn't this the job of the list server rather than an MUA?

I have this already. I just hit crtl-alt-S on any spam and it gets
exactly this treatment. Check out the library. ;-)

Nanny software with artificial intelligence. Well, if it is a plug-in

Already exists. But then, I thought TB was an email client, not a
general can-do-all software. I don't know what these birthday
reminders have to do with an email client, but here they are.

Plug-ins, so the rumour goes, will be possible in v2.
