It would be nice to have a flag or special-use mailbox defined such that if 
the client sets that flag or moves a message to that mailbox and the server 
has a webmail UI, then the server carries out the same action as the 
webmail UI's "this is spam" button, whatever that action may be.

It has extra moving parts, which means extra opportunities for IPR. Sigh.

I'd prefer to have no reporting. Just a capability from the server and a 
unilateral action from the client. Full freedom for the server to act now 
or later, in whatever manner seems suitable.
