It is incredibly lame, the same thing happened with Outlook Express when a
mail rule was applied (even if the rule marked it as read). Of course this
was expected to some extent because:
1) Outlook Express was an old, very simple mail client and it wasn't being
actively maintained.
2) The spam filtering had to be external, as it had no built in spam
filtering.
The fact that it still does this is a good indication that the development
team are not using it on a day to day basis, as it annoys every single person
I have ever seen using OE (and now Windows Mail).
The Mail Rules need updating too, there is no "when a message is marked as
spam" option.
