Please stop it now? Really. Thunderbird is software running on your computer. Who are you addressing this to?

Besides, Thunderbird does not use the word Spam or modify subject lines. i suggest you ask your email provider about their spam filter or examine your antivirus software.

Thunderbird uses the word Junk for this exact reason and still gets blames for the Spam tag.
