That’s the second time I’ve done that in as many days.

Sounds like an interesting idea, minus the huge number of false positives I get with gmail. I’d say about half of my “spam” isn’t really spam.

I agree, gmail spam filter is working better everyday.
Anyway I still receive too much spam messages and it’s difficult to analize all of them. So I’ve written a couple of PHP script that connects to gmail and reads spam emails data. It stores it in a database table and you can later review it from a webpage with some nice graphics. Check it out, follow my webpage address. Hope you like it.
