Sounds to me like you probably have some significant errors in your
training. If you have 200 messages from the big cheese trained as "good"
and his messages still get quarantined, I have to believe there's something
wrong with your training. Can you post the clues from the quarantined
message without giving away the company's secrets? It would be helpful to
see them. I don't know if the Outlook plugin displays the ham and spam
counts for various clues as well, but that would also be helpful.

That's not it. Outlook already allows you to define such rules. Mark would
simply be reimplementing something you can already do. If what you're
really asking for is for the Outlook plugin to implement whitelists and
blacklists in an easier fashion than you can do in Outlook directly, I think
your beef is with Microsoft. ;-)
