I would rather they bought a special license from the guy that did JBMail, and use it as a plugin..just the logic parts that include 'pattern matching' of certain lines in the header, for 'black' and 'white' pattern matching and also black and white lists, which work like a check and cover for each other. The pattern matching cleans up what the list can't 'read' together the system is 100% reliable. Don't forget to put "Big5" in your blacklist to catch 99% of the Asian spam. I don't think it would be much of an addition to the size of TB as the whole program (without it's .ini file) is just over 100/Kb. It has the advantage of listing all one's mails on the remote server, and in the process highlighting everything it sees that isn't in your 'whitelist' and so then you just have a look and make sure your son-in-law's brother (the one with the hotmail.com address) is not listed among the spammers; then hit the delete key, and hundreds of unwanted junk joins the ether in seconds; download what's left to TB.
