added descr of trying junk mail headers and a bit more on logging
Junk mail controls can be set separately for each email account or, if using the global inbox feature, to all local folders. These are the available options for determining how Thunderbird should recognize and treat junk mail.
; White Lists : A white list is a list of contacts whose messages should never be treated as junk mailGeneral Options* ''Do not mark messages as junk mail if the sender is in my address book'' prevents messages from being automatically marked as junk mail if the sender is a contact listed in the selected address book. This is effectively a White List of contacts whose messages should never be treated as junk mail, and is often most useful when combined with the ''Automatically add outgoing email addresses to my Address Book'' option.* ''Trust junk mail headers set by'' will automatically recognize mail that is marked by a separate junk mail filtering program. Very often, your ISP or mail server will install such a filtering program, which adds special headers to your email before it is retrieved by Thunderbird. By setting this option, you do not have to create special filters to recognize these. Currently supports: SpamAssassin and SpamPal.
; Handling : Determines what to do with junk mail when it is received
* ''Move incoming messages determined to be junk mail to'' will automatically place junk mail into the specified folder upon arrival
* ''When I manually mark messages as Junk'' allows the user to determine whether to put manually-marked junk mail into the Junk folder or delete it immediately
* ''When displaying HTML messages marked as junk, sanitize the HTML''
; Logging: Enables Clicking the ''Junk Mail Log'' button brings up another option setting window that allows you to enable and disable logging of junk mailfiltering, as well as view the log itself. Normally, it should not be necessary to enable logging.
