What features are missing that you wanted to add?

Did you want to finish the work?  It looks like spam.el is
semi-complete already.  I don't mind picking up - it's always fun to
polish my Lisp.  Just let me know what features/functions you wanted.

What did you think about the "spam" mark?  I've added it to
gnus-sum.el; patch attached.  I picked the "H" character for the
company that brought us the original word, since "S" was taken.  I can
see it being applied by score or by a splitting-time function.  I also
added a gnus-summary-mark-as-spam function, which could be augmented
to also report the spam to user-defined destinations.

I don't think a user would always want spam going to the same folder,
as a score would force them to do.  That's why the spam mark makes
sense.  You can apply it to an article; it will be treated as a
gnus-killed-mark in most ways.  But you can limit the summary to spam
only, whereas otherwise you're stuck with differently scored, but
otherwise alike articles.

Thanks
