What I'm envisioning is an installer for Win32 that puts 
the minimum set of Win32 binaries on your machine as well as a
really simple plugin for Outlook that can be configured
to run whenever new mail arrives and move spam into a
specified folder.  I suggest Outlook because it's popular
and I use it.

I've used a couple of plugins like this in the past.  I don't
know how difficult it is to write them, but I do know that you
can write them in Visual Basic (so how hard can it be?  <grin>)

I'm not saying that you should run out and write this, I'm just
brainstorming ways to easily build the user base.

I apologize.  Our corporate Exchange server has a bug that ignores
my plain text preferences.  I've sent them instructions on how to fix 
it, but they have to schedule downtime etc so it'll take a little 
while.  :-(
