I'm evaluating it right now. I was using a software that was not integrated with OE. The problem is that there isn't a 100% accurate spam software, so you always have to look what the program considered as a spam to eventually recover an email. So, I was using two softwares to verify my emails. Spam Bully, otherwise, integrates into OE giving you only one interface to manage all emails. Now I have to handle just OE to restore an email or to mark a message as a spam. It's really easier than work with two applications. OE preview panel can be unsafety even with spam applications that don't integrate with OE... For me it's great to have a software like that! Anyway, it'll be awkward if all spam softwares work the same way.

The only problem with this approach, is that if you review your spam folder, and (as in the screenshot) you read messages in your preview pane, you're still reading the spam. What's the point? The best solution is a proxy/filtering app combination that keeps spam isolated from your mail client completely. Stored in text format (instead of HTML) in an folder outside of your mail client, you can review just the subject/sender and purge the folder whenenver you like. Even if you do read the message that way, it's harmless. Reading spam in a spam folder in Outlook Express with the preview pane on isn't any different than reading it in your inbox. FWIW, piggybacking the two freeware/open source apps K9 and SpamWeasel will allow you to keep the junk out of your mail client completely, and is the best solution I've seen so far for Windows. Any spam management tool is better than none, but this particular approach doesn't make any sense to me.
