    Enhance: flagging emails as spam to exclude them from view

    Spam e-mails are a nuisance; they get in the way when browsing lists. It would be helpful if they could be ignored when displaying emails to a list.
    
    So I suggest that there should be a way to flag e-mails as spam, and the user should be able to suppress the display of such messages.
    
    There would need to be some controls on who was allowed to flag the messages.
    Rather than a binary flag, users could select to suppress messages with a spam vote > N

    This specifically refers to the Pony Mail deployment at https://lists.apache.org/

    This is similar to #59 but flagging as spam would still allow the mails to be viewed if necessary.
    For example, the mails could be regularly extracted to train spam detectors.
    
    Also the classification could be done by almost anyone (*), rather than relying on a special admin person. The more people who vote a mail as spam, the better the classification is likely to be.
    
    (*) probably best to restrict this to logged-in ASF users. Or even ASF members / PMC members.
