Hi,

Is there a way to whitelist a sender that Thunderbird continuously reports as a possible scam? I get messages from Sophos about security news and TB flags this each time as a possible scam. I know you can disable the scam warnings in total or just hit ignore each time but I don't see a way to tell it not to flag these particular messages as scams.

Thanks

If there is not a way to flag a sender as safe not not warn each time. Is there a way to suggest this to the Thunderbird development team to possibly be incorporated in a future build?

Thanks

Thanks for the explanation on what it does. It's too bad that it's behavior can't be altered.
