Periodically I receive emails from trusted sources where SM warns that

for the same trusted source. The quick fix is to completely disable this
feature by going about:config and change mail.phishing.detection.enabled
to False.
It would be helpful if SM could learn when an email is checked as "Not a
Scam", that the result of that action would disable any future notices
that an email from the same source "might be a scam".
Note: Under Global Junk Preferences/Junk and Suspect Mail, I do have
"suspected email scam" unchecked but that apparently is ignored and the
only way to not see these warnings is to do the fix in about:config
I see the opposite. I have received repeated scam attempts (especially
the Nigerian variety), and never see any warning about a scam.
Edit | Preferences | Mail & Newsgroups | Junk & Suspect Mail
At the bottom:
[x] Tell me if the message I'm reading is a suspected email scam
This should have the same effect as toggling Arnie's key in about:config.
It does not have the same affect so I assume it is broken. The only way
to to toggle it on or off is to use about:config
That does not seem to work very well. I presume the setting in
about:config is mail.phishing.detection.enabled, which is already set to
true. I have had that setting with both Thunderbird and Seamonkey and
have never received any warnings, even though I have received several
phishing attempts with both.
