Sure--but if you have to be continually retraining your mail client, it kind of
defeats the purpose, doesn't it?

My situation may be a tad different, because of the sheer volume of spam I
receive (close to 1,000 a day). Filters alone won't work for me simply because
so many of the spammers are developing countermesures to evade them.

Ultimately, the only solution to spam is for it to be no longer profitable for
the spammers--that people stop responding ot it.

The problem is bigger than that, Joe. Much of the Spam that any
address receives is generated by random address engines. They sit and
spin 24 hours a day, sending spam-mail to every conceivable address.

Additionally, if you make one mistake, email one harvestable database,
you are forever "locked". The only out is to munge headers, or change
your address. It sucks, but that's life.
