Spam Pantry

In gmail as it exists (and presumably other email systems of similar design) one can tag an email as spam, which sends it automatically to the spam folder and, after thirty days, deletes it. Or the systems can tag stuff for you, and it's supposed to learn what to tag as spam by looking at what you tag. My beef is with the thirty-days-delete rule, because one can't move emails out of the spam folder without marking them as "Not Spam".

Occasionally I get a spam message that is indeed spam, that I want the filters to *know* is spam, but that is so amusing or surreal that I want to keep it around as a sort of captive specimen. (Anything with a subject line of "James had little time to savor his new silverware before ..." may be spam, but it's also a priceless example of dadaist art.)

Idea: a folder in Gmail called "Spam Pantry", where you can move messages to save them indefinately, while still assuring the filter that yes, spam looks like this.
